We talked about the importance of breathing and the organs involved in it. Kids tried consciously to breathe with their belly. After a good warm-up we tried to build moving, breathing sculptures, resulting in nice, creative moments and fun ideas.

In this session we stimulated our storytelling and writing skills along with drawing and illustrating. We took advantage of our opportunity to host Sacha, a visiting art teacher from the US, who helped some children to build their stories in English. The children chose 3–4 objects from the collection I had prepared for them. The objects of their choice, whether funny, playful, bizarre, ordinary or very special, became the characters in their story. After writing a short story they went on to draw the objects that represented their main characters. Some children chose to do a single illustration, while others were more attracted to making a storyboard.
