The artistHow we'll do it, what we want to depict: noting down ideas, discarding ideas, noting down ideas, discarding ideas. The idea would be to paint the fish with the text «Tu ets aigua» — you are water.
The childrenWhat I liked most was putting the stencils on and painting over them with spray cans.
I liked doing a graffiti because it's a unique experience. It carries a good message, which is not to waste water, because we could run out of it.
I had never painted with spray before. Water shouldn't be wasted, because otherwise it will run out.
I thought it was great fun.
On the wallTu ets aigua. Cada gota compta. You are water. Every drop counts.
