As I understand, emerging of
alternative/ novel idea through imagination is
creativity.
This essential higher-order ability has to
be stimulated and developed through various
curricular, co- and extra-curricular activities
at schools.
Here, I am suggesting Mosaic Painting
and Thread Painting arts as an activity/
technique to stimulate creativity among
students.
Introduction

Mosaic Painting is an art / design
in which multi-coloured paints are
painted on a sheet through water
(without brush).
Similarly, Thread Painting also
an art where painting/ design is made
on a sheet with use of thread.

Advantages of Mosaic and Thread Painting
