Facilitation tips
-
Say: Tell me a story about your artwork.
-
Ask: Why did you choose the word that you wrote?
-
Write the title first and let the child build the masterpiece.
-
The colour of bricks can be relevant in an artistic masterpiece. Blind children understand that each brick has a specific colour and they can use them accordingly (N to represent green for leaves, B for yellow for the sun).
