13. I have focused the lesson on the Picasso portraits.
Firstly, I’ll start the lesson showing children the magic box
(inside we have some laminated Picassos' portraits). We
do the activity: Knock, Knock what's in the box? One, two,
three open the box. Next, I’ll ask them: what can you see?
Maybe some children can answer a face but my answer
would be a PORTRAIT. We can see a Portrait! 5 minutes
activity.
After that, I can guide them to talk about colours, shapes
and also parts of the face they see. I emphasize we are
seeing Pablo Picasso portraits, we talk about the one they
like more. We can see a red eye, etc…10 minutes activity.
DESCRIPTION:

20. REFLEXIONS
It has been a very nice experience with very little children. They
really enjoy creating the digital potraits on the magic board. They
were motivated in the activities proposed. It was funny to see
their faces when the Picasso portraits appeared from the Magic
Box.
