Journey Through the Universe of Imagination

This week, the classroom at Savremena Primary School transformed into a small universe of creativity. Guided by a beautiful illustration of an astronaut holding planet-shaped balloons, students had the opportunity to create their own versions of the same theme. Even though they all started from the same motif, each artwork became completely unique — because every child sees the universe in their own way.

Displayed on the interactive board was the original illustration, full of vibrant colors, planets, and magical details. It instantly awakened curiosity and imagination among the students. They observed every element carefully — the positions, colors, and shapes — and then began creating their own versions, enriched with personal ideas, new color combinations, and details they imagined themselves.

This introductory moment was more than a simple art assignment. It was an invitation to think creatively, freely, and boldly — to break away from patterns and use art as a tool for expressing one’s own vision of the world.

Little Artists in Action: Every Artwork Tells Its Own Cosmic Story

As soon as they picked up their papers, pencils, and markers, the students immersed themselves in the creative process. Some closely followed the original, trying to replicate every detail as faithfully as possible, while others let their imagination lead the way — drawing rockets in different colors, balloons shaped like planets they invented, extra characters, stars, suns, or entire galaxies.

While the artworks were taking shape, the classroom was filled with wonderful comments:
✨ “Look at my Saturn!”
✨ “My rocket flies even faster!”
✨ “I made a whole new world — look!”

Students proudly showed their creations to one another, comparing, discussing, and encouraging each other. The photos clearly show how proud they are of what they created. That joy of creation was just as important as the final result.

This artistic activity was far more than drawing — it was a process of developing visual thinking, observation skills, fine motor coordination, and a sense of composition. But even more importantly, it was a space where children learned to trust themselves, embrace their own style, and proudly stand behind what they create.

Savremena’s Approach: Nurturing Creativity, Imagination, and Confidence

Art activities at Savremena are not merely decorative — they play a deep pedagogical role. Through this task, students learned to observe, interpret, translate emotion into color and shape, and express what they feel and think. This is a precious part of their development, because imagination is the foundation of innovative thinking and one of the most valuable tools a child can carry into the future.

Teachers were there to guide, inspire, and introduce new techniques, but the main protagonists were — the students themselves. Their work showed how original children can be when given freedom, how detailed they become when something truly interests them, and how quickly they progress when they work in an environment that motivates and supports them.

At the end of the lesson, all artworks were displayed, and the children proudly stood in front of their little “cosmic stories,” showing them to friends and discussing different ideas. It was a moment that filled the classroom with pride, smiles, and a sense of togetherness.
