The EARLY CYCLADIC II period (2800-2300 BC) was the height of cycladic culture.

Sculptors of Cyclades islands skillfully produced a huge number of abstract and highly standardized female figurines and heads from marble.

Hello eTwinners! I'm going to show you how the pupils of the 2nd Kindergarten N. Artakis transformed my head into...

the sea with

some birds

a happy girl with earrings

many colourful splashes

a redhead girl

in a red dress

a pink face

colourful stripes

a staircase to the rainbow

They also made my head out of salty yeast!

Pupils & parents made various cycladic idols, using salty yeast but they also made cycladic-head biscuits!

Can you imagine!

The kids of the 2nd Kindergarten N. Artakis, almost tasted me!

The pupils welcomed 2019 with a big cake, called...

Vassilopita, decorated with Cycladic idols

They put me into warm colours...

...and as the Carnival came they transformed me into masks!

I also went to the 1st Kindergarten N. Artakis, where the kids tried to remake me out of clay!

After that, I was travelled up to Psachna.

The kids of the 3rd Kindergarten Psachnon, transformed me into...

a lion!

a smiling cat

a lovely girl in a colourful frame!

Then, I travelled to the 1st Kindergarten Chalkidas where the kids made me as an ancient Hellenic woman with black hair and big eyelashes!

My next station was Thessaloniki!

The pupils of the 1st class of the 2nd Kindergarten Efkarpias used threads, temperas & black markers and...

gave me amazing colourful shapes!

Let's have a look!
