CHRISTMAS CARD DESIGNS

Hi there!

Great job!

I AM BLOP!

We've discovered a great book to help us develop our creativity, practise our reading and have a great time while reading it. It's the book I'm Blop, by the great Hervé Tullet author of so many wonderful books for children (Press here, The big book of art, The game of mix up art, Doodle cook...) //Este curso hemos descubierto un libro genial para desarrollar nuestra creatividad, practicar la lectura y pasar un buen rato leyendo. Se trata del libro "Soy un Blop", del autor francés Hervé Tullet, también autor de libros como" Un libro", "El gran libro del arte", ...

Here you are a short video introducing the book. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did!

OUR KLIMT AND KANDINSKY-INSPIRED WORK

Aquí os queda una muestra de nuestro trabajo.
