important concepts and terms and creating a
Central Idea that we could understand and
own.

Sorting Out
Our first sorting out activity was to
create a mosaic about our own
understanding of how people
communicate through art. We created a
mosaic depicting a world with different
thoughts and ideas and that these
differences help to connect the world
and make us understand one another
better.

Arts
We developed self-management skills particularly timemanagement and also social skills which was about
communicating and collaborating with others while
working.
The art skills we worked on were drawing, manipulating
of materials or sculpting to create form and express
ones ideas. The concept of Form or 3-Dimensional art
was our goal. We found out that 3-D art or sculptures are
very different from painting or drawing as this involves
the actual space and form of a material.
The concept we emphasized was reflection as during
art-making we had to pause and look at where we were
before we had to move on.
