PROJECT
TITLE |
Art through Child's Eyes and
a PC Mouse |
|
Short
Summary |
Seven schools from seven
European countries decided to work together in a Comenius 1
project based on cross curricula art through different ways of
using ICT in Elementary education. We believe that children can
be very creative and learn through doing. They will learn
through observing great artists' work and crating their own
masterpieces. |

heritage, history, music and literature to environment
communication, interculturalism and raising pupil achivements
