Creativity Unleashed!

STOOL
ROUND
I had this unexpected occasion to spend some time without a fixed agenda in the class, due to lot of students of the class busy in a football match. Rejecting their requests for playing outside, I asked them to show me some creativity. The task was to "draw" words that could convey the meaning of the words too. A few examples could be as shown here.
SHAPES

Initially, the children seemed to be struggling with the designs. But gradually, they caught on the task, and here are some creations that I could capture. In fact, it was difficult to keep up with their pace. Of course, there were some that bordered on being highly cryptic to be deciphered. There were still others that were not original creations. Nevertheless, quite commendable.

  1. Excellent.In advertising and design parlance this is called Typography.I'm impressed.Impressed by the mentor who conceived this .These small things is what education is all about. The ability of a school to give children a "SEED" and create the right kind of environ to flower.....looking forward to see more of it.
