Constructions - Exploring Materials
Under various subjects, the main objective of constructios is to explore the properties of materials and understand them, while developing creativity and individual needs and aspirations. Those are, together with free painting, the most successfull activities!

Drawing - Exploring Concepts
Drawing is one of the first ways children use to express themselves. My approch on drawing is most of the time based on an idea that should be explored and and that should find a way to be represented. My intention on drawing is to find ways of representation. With puppils I find very important that they think about the drawing itself and that they find their own style.
The Menu Project consists on a project where each puppil has to choose, from a restaurant menu, a dish, and draw it. Pombal, Portugal, 2012.
Textile Book Project: This project consists on an Illustration of an existing story or created by puppils that is, afterwords, copied to textiles, in small pieces, and following the original puppils drawing, is assembled to create a book. Here we explore the possibilities of representing a situation from a story and the possibilities of materials. Carnaxide, Portugal, 2008.

One House - One Book Project. The project consists on the representation of each puppil’s house.
