For Class 5, we have selected a few upgraded versions of the art to create on Independence Day 2026, while also not over complicating the process.
 

1. Nature Painting With Tricolour 

Use water or poster colour to recreate this. Paint the upper half of the A4 sheet with orange colour and the lower half of the sheet with green colour. Do not forget to add the fading or ombre effect. Paint Indian flag over it and then draw the leaves and grass with sketch pen. 

2. Unity In Diversity

India takes pride in Unity in Diversity and this art is a beautiful way of showing it. Draw five arms holding each other, depicting different religions in India. Then draw the tricolour in between and add Ashok Chakra as well.
