Collaborating is fun. Last 30th of January we drew colourful doves as it was Peace Day. We were in groups of four. Each child had two fingers stained with paint. As the teacher said the orders, the kids went stamping coloured dots all over the doves. We had fun and we got a beautiful result. What do you think?

Mandala: the art of patience and creativity
Mandalas are a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. Year 1 and Year 2 kids coloured them taking into account their radial composition. They didn't have to colour it in any specific way, the only rule was to start from the centre. First, they listened to a music and had to concentrate on it, then they had to begin working on their mandala.

New ways
What can you find in an art room? Crayons? Felt-tips? Brushes? Not in "cicle mitjà"! What happens if you forgot your wax crayons? What if you' ve lost your coloured pencils? Do not panic! We are exploring and discovering new ways of colouring. Did you know that you can use cotton sticks to paint? Oh yes, you can! We did it in 3rd and we got original results! And have you ever tried using sponges to colour? Try it! You'll have fun! We used them in 4th and we painted original leaves falling from the trees. Let's mix warm colours such as orange, red, yellow and brown and you'll find yourself in an autumn postcard
