Creative Art Activities: Three Little Wolves and a Big Bad Pig.

Not all the wolves are big and bad! What if they were good and the pig was bad?
It is a hilarious activity, great fun for children to get involved in this drawing task. A wonderful ice-breaker or a team-building activity! A child gets a piece of paper and starts with drawing a head of a person or an animal. When they have finished, they fold the part of the paper back to cover the picture they have drawn leaving just a little bit of their picture (usually showing a part of the neck). Next the paper is handed to another person who sees only a fragment of the drawing. They draw the rest of the body not knowing what the upper part of the picture actually presents. In the end they unfold the picture to see the result. What is more, they can put some finishing touches – color the picture, make some ornaments, decorate the frame etc. All in all, not every wolf is wicked or scary, as well as not all the pigs are good-hearted and friendly ;-)

Winter by Grade 1A



„When I’m drawing, I’m drawing with the light, being completely open and creative (…) I need light and I need warmth if it is a summer thing, and I need cold if it is a winter collection”  
(Christian Louboutin)


And here it is, a wonderful collection of winter pictures created by grade 1A. The weather, even when it does not have a lot in common with the really cold season, can become children’s inspiration during the winter-themed art classes. Again it has been proved that the lack of snow leaves place for imagination.  

      Winter Wonderland (a fragment) by Joseph T. Renaldi 

      There are strange and mysterious sounds
      When the winds of winter blow,
      The long nights are crystal clear and cold,
      And the fields and meadows are covered with snow.
     The stars are frosty against the sky,
     And the wind's whistle is shrill,
     As the snow blows against the house
     And drifts against the hill.
