To fresh eyes, it would appear that artist Syed Haider Raza used the geometry box as much as the acrylic colour box. His abstracts, especially his Bindu series, are deceptively simple. Take a few squares, triangles and circles and fill them with cadmium reds, yellows and oranges, and you have a Raza. It is child's play. Rishita Chandra, who founded Know Your Art to supply art kits for kids, was thinking along the same lines.

When Chandra's daughter turned five in 2015, Chandra designed a Piet Mondrian kit, his geometric paintings rendered in line drawings, as a return gift. "They were learning about primary colours, and I thought Mondrian would be the simplest," she says. When she noticed the interest among her daughter's peers, she knew she could give them what she didn't receive: an art education.
