 *  Each partner upload pupils’ work of each phase* on a Glogster as well a short video showing how they worked and then embedded them on the Wikispace.
 * Games : we make and share among us art-games for the classroom
 *  Biographies: we built one **__visual - biography__** for each artist on a carton 50X70, in synergy. Each partner starts one biography and they send it with **__the artwork__** by the post to the next school (look at the Timetable* ) with **__a book__** concerning the artist
 * Sites used: we upload all the sites we visited with our pupils and believe are worth to be shared
 * Virtual Museums : we upload all the virtual museums we visit
 * Museums: we share a photo with a short description concerning Art- Museums we visit in our country

 * 1)  Pupils start their artwork showing up the artist specific style
 * 2)  Pupils develop few basic characters ‘challenging’ the next partner
 * 3)  Pupils add and complete elements of the artwork
