MY FRIEND’S EYE
(Body)

• Tell children they are going to draw their friend’s eye - enlarged, so that it fits the whole sheet of paper: "You are going to draw/paint your friend’s eye so that it covers all of the paper, so it will be a very big eye." To make it clearer, it is good if the teacher shows the students his/her own drawing: "Look, like this."
• First let them look at each other’s eyes for a bit, to spot all the details: "Look carefully at your friend’s eye. What can you see?"
• The children try to get as close as possible to memorise the colour, size, and shape of the eye, as well as the shape, density, and colour of eyelashes and eyebrows. They simply try to get as many details as possible: "Draw everything you can see."
• After their pictures are finished, children spread them on the floor and sit around them in a circle: "Put the pictures down on the floor. Sit down in a circle."
• A student selects a picture and guesses whose eye it is: "It’s Martin’s eye." Martin says either: "Yes, it’s my eye." or "No, it isn’t my eye." If it is not Martin’s eye, the student puts the picture down and another child may select another picture.
• The eye, the owner of which we know, is mounted on the classroom wall, with a written name of its owner.
• Next time, you may revise which eye belongs to whom: This is Martin’s eye.
