  • Divide the class in two
  • One can see different sculptures

  • Let the kids compare each element on the given object. And try to identify the basic elements of art (color, line, shape, form, and texture) and how artists use these elements in different ways in their work.
  • Kids can make a note of different elements that they think the artist used to show in his sculpture or painting
  • Switch the groups and repeat the activity
  • Let the kids have a discussion and identify the differences
  • Each kid gets a drawing kit
  • The kid can choose one of the two objects (painting / sculpture) or a mixture of both art forms and create his own masterpiece
