Inspired by famous artist Piet Mondrian, I decided to show my class another side of art - Abstract Art. Some children get frustrated with themselves because they can't get their art right.

Suggest to them that art comes in different form and their masterpiece can be considered as an abstract art.

Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape.
