The children in kindergarten have heard the story of St. Bassett told and mimicked by the teacher, then molded the clay to create the statue of the Saint.

At primary School, the children listened to the traditional history of San Bassiano.

Then, in groups heterogeneous in age, they first designed the figure of the Saint drawing inspiration from the statue placed in the square Libert and from some drawings.

Younger children were used, as stamps, different shapes of pasta dipped in tempera colors (using

only the primary colors)

First and second classes of primary school

POINTILLISM, trying to bring out the highlights and shadows in their figure by distributing the points more or less dense in the space

Older children could choose between two techniques:

Third, fourth and fifth primary school

COLORING through the filling of the figure WITH LINES (straight, curved, broken) spaced differently between them to highlight, in this case also, the zones of light and shadow
