How We Decorate Our World? #4-Creating connections with others through our decorations.




Last week, the children have shown understanding that each person's perspective might be different or same when we look at decorations.  The children explored with the concept of how decorations tell human stories and help us know one another (connection). What are the stories associated with our decorations and how do these help us connect with one another?

Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's painting "The Bedroom", the children started to design their own rooms made out of cardboard. The children built furniture out of twigs, decorated their walls and floors with wonderful designs and made blanket or pillows to make their room look comfortable. By looking at each others' rooms, we get to know more about that person. The children made connections by sharing and using designs that they like in their own rooms.
