2- show examples . This step can be omitted if we want to check whether our students have understood the wheel or if we want to check their creativity without inspiration.

4- Analyse the results: Are they wrong? Why?

Page 5: activity about cold and warm colours

In these three last drawings we can observe that green is mixed with warm colours. Why can this happen? There are several possible interpretations:

- They did not pay enough attention to the explanations. - Colour green in Asturias, our region, is present everywhere. Warm colours are

supossed to give us the sense of heat, comfort and summer and all the prairies and valleys are beautiful green in summer. So they may have just interpreted this familiar colour with the warmth of their region.

- They wanted to be creative and put a cold element on their drawings. Fortunately, we are not here to evaluate and mark these pieces of art depending on how right they are using warm and cold colours. Children chose whether to interpret lines and shapes with colours and they did beautiful compositions and combinations of colours that look fantastic on our window! Of course, they have to learn and clearly distinguish warm and cold colours, but they will learn by doing and observing... they are only 7 years old!!! I’m impatient to get more and cover the whole glass!! Thank you to the students of 2nd grade B who contributed to this activity, you are a real inspiration!
