How You Feel
Class 7 · Arts
4 ideas in Class 7 Arts, explained in plain words, with games and quizzes to practise.
Faces and Navarasa
Part of: Faces felt
A team game enacts prompts — hugs, rewards, sudden insects, harsh words — while others guess from face and body. Eyes, brows, mouth and jawline shift each feeling; draw four to five faces, then craft emojis.
Why it matters. Faces speak before words.
Try it in two minutes
- Enact one prompt.
- Guess from face.
- Draw four faces.
Try at home. Guess family feelings.
Proportions of the Head
Part of: Faces felt
Baby and adult faces differ by proportion, not parts. The eye-gap equals one eye; ears sit between brow line and nose tip; measure with an index finger using the nose as unit.
Why it matters. Ratios make drawings true.

Rock Relief at Mahabalipuram
Part of: Faces felt
An 8th-century rock-cut temple relief at Mahabalipuram shows river myths with half-human Kinnaras, singing Gandharvas and dwarf Yakshas. A relief stays joined to its base with a flat back; eroded faces invite reimagining on 15 cm square sheets.
Why it matters. Old stones teach new seeing.
Try it in two minutes
- Name three beings.
- Define relief simply.
- Sketch one face square.
Try at home. Visit one old monument.
Clay Relief and Stereotypes
Part of: Faces felt
Soak dry clay a day, knead out stones, keep it neither sticky nor cracked, join parts with glue-like slip, hang with a top hole and dry for days. A stereotype is a widely accepted but unfactual generalisation — challenge it with fresh sketches.
Why it matters. Hands shape clay, minds reshape views.
Try it in two minutes
- Soak then knead clay.
- Join parts with slip.
- Sketch against one label.
Try at home. Question one ad image.
