T. Jyothi has been running art classes for children at her home in Srirangam for the past 10 years. A part-time craft teacher at a private school in Srirangam, Jyothi says that encouraging kids to take up art in their spare time helps them to break their technology addiction. Her home is full of craft projects, some of which are also used as guides in teacher training. Originality is keyEven for a subject like craft, younger children need to be coaxed a little with singing and fun activities, says Jyothi. “For both teacher and student, it is very satisfying to see how a craft project gets completed when you are working with your hands,” she says.
