· Some rules were discussed in the beginning of the class:
1) They have to be quiet for this activity, they need to sit by themselves and thing and spend some time with a plant.
2) They cannot use erasers, pencils and rulers. They can only use water colors.
3) They cannot talk to each other while they are spending time with a plant.
4) They all have to keep timings in mind consciously.
5) They will be divided in groups and they will have to work within that group and share with the other groups later.
6) And someone in the class has to tell everyone what is important in the activity to do.
· RESULT
1) Only 2-3 kids were quiet and sat by them, a constant reminder was set that they have to be quiet.
2) They found working with only water colors/inks uncomfortable but it saved a lot of time. So the time management became better in today’s activities.
3) Diving the kids in small groups worked better, they discussed, shared which helped them discuss with other groups better and they were faster in working together than working individually.
4) This time they kept in mind what was important to do in a visual.
5) But again they struggled with visualization. All of them had same associations of different elements with feelings. For example for most of them rain was considered as “bringing trouble”, it did not show in their visuals but it came out when they were discussing their visuals. They were saying something and the visual lacked the elements of their expressions, feelings.
6) Some of them asked how they would show a certain feeling/character in their visual. For this some activities have to be planned which help them break away from their usual symbolic meanings.
