VISUAL ARTS

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." Pablo Picasso 

We all have worked on symmetry art. On circular paper we draw our self-portrait. On top of the portrait  draw different caricature using multicolor sketch pens.

Tracing our own hand then cut & paste on different colour paper using scissors and glue we did colorful paper collage.

"Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions"- Pablo Picasso

ICT

"On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger". David Hockney

Children are enjoying new apps on iPads.Group I kids were introduced to the Puppet Pals app on the iPads. It is a great storytelling tool for their age group. They will be working in pairs tomorrow to create their unique stories. 

In Group II, Nikhil and Trisha are almost done with their movies on Rediscovering Minds. All the three kids were introduced to the basics of command programming through a tutorial “An Hour of Code” on http://code.org/learn . Surprisingly, they were super excited about programming, just for the simple reason that they had to make their “Angry Bird” reach the “Bad Piggy” using the commands. They will be completing all the 20 levels tomorrow.
