This lesson plan aims to develop English skills through art-oriented activities focused on shapes and volumes. The lesson has two parts: the first has students finding shapes hidden in abstract textures, while the second has them hiding shapes within artistic constructions. Students will create textured papers, identify shapes within them, and hide words using lines, stains or brush touches. The goal is to stimulate creativity and build confidence using English, art, and technology. Students will be assessed on class participation and creativity shown. The communicative teaching approach engages students in discussions, artwork, and analyzing their results.

- 2. In order to stimulate our imagination and develop our creativity we can play a game of seeking or hiding shapes. If we use an already painted surface (or painted by ourselves) with all kind of mixed colors, in abstract way, let it dry, after that, using a marker or a pen with a strong color we should try to find resemblance in resulted forms. If we look carefully we may have lovely surprises and discover animals, leaves, flowers, dragons, princesses or dolphins! Another game we could play from the other side: we write a word (it may be your name!) and then we can try to hide it covering it with all kind of lines. Those lines may describe abstract forms or flowers, leaves or even trees! Playing hide and seek with shapes will give you lot of joy and put your imagination to work!
