Collecting objects

2. Look around you, at home or in the street. Choose a colour and try to find out things, objects, materials, small pieces of plastic, paper, with the same colour.

3. Put them together on a white surface. Don't put them very close or very far each other.

4. Imagine a shape or not. Just put your collection of objects in a way you like it.

CREATIVE CHALLENGE 3:
COMMON OBJECTS HAVE SECRETS...
Here you have another creative challenge to develop your creativity and imagination and have fun at the same time. Watch this video.

Clik on the image and watch the video

by Pablo Amargo and Gael Zamora.

1) Look around you and pay attention to common objects in your house.
2) Draw them in different pieces of paper, an adult can help you. Use simple lines in dark colour.
3) Pay attention to the shape of the object. Can you 'see other objects' in it? Can you imagine how to draw other things with it? Try it...
4) Don't colour your creation, it's fun if you can see the two objects at the same time....
