Drawing Emoticons

  • This activity mainly involves Design and Technology and aims to make the students create their original emoticons using the knowledge and the procedures learned during the Technical Drawing lessons. So the first goal is to learn how to draw curves. Secondly, the activity aims to make the students aware of emotions, and finally the pupils learn how to work in a group and manage the feelings of competition, frustration and satisfaction. The way in which the task is planned helps to demonstrate the students’ creativity and the use of the various skills, so that each one of them can express their talent to the best.
