Imagine you are an artist and have colored pencils, paints, papers of different textures, and scissors in your hands. Now, you need to create a work of art. Describe step by step how you would do it. Remember to tell us what colors you would use, what kind of drawing you would create, and how you would use the different papers to make your work even more special.

Imagine that we are having a big party at school and each student can help decorate a panel showing what they like to draw the most. You can choose to draw, paint, paste pictures, make comics, origami, or even small sculptures to show on the panel. Now, think carefully and tell me: How would you choose one of these forms of artistic expression to show what you like to draw the most and why would you choose that technique?

In the Arts class, teacher Ana introduced a new project that involves creating a landscape using different natural elements such as leaves, branches, and flowers, which will be glued onto a paper to form a picture. The project aims to explore artistic expression and knowledge about the characteristics of the materials used. To start the project, students need to first collect the elements that will be used in their creation and then select the appropriate location to make the artistic composition. Considering the teacher's proposal, which component of the process of creating an outdoor artistic landscape best relates to the ability to identify and collect materials for the realization of an artwork? 'Learning to create a balanced composition with the collected materials'?

Have you ever played at drawing, painting, or making comic strips? All of these activities are forms of art! When we create something new, we use our imagination and our hands to show how we see the world or how we want it to be. Now, think of a figure or object that you really like. How could you use paper, scissors, and glue to create a different or new version of that object? Write or draw how your artistic creation would be, explaining what you changed or added.

Maria is learning about artists and different forms of artistic expression. She saw some artworks made with unusual materials, such as a painting made of buttons and a mobile made of plastic bottles. Maria found these creations very interesting and decided to make a sculpture of an animal using recyclable materials, such as cardboard, newspaper, and bottle caps. Before starting her sculpture, she made a drawing to plan how the sculpture would look in the end. Considering the importance of planning an artwork and using recyclable materials creatively, what would be Maria's first step in turning her drawing into an artistic sculpture?
