By drawing in the air with their fingers and using the Maestro’s Signals to indicate the relative positions the shapes that they have drawn!

After they have finished, each player will try to name the two things which they think they reproduced in their drawings. Finally, points are awarded for the artistic merit as well as for the elements of the picture that the players have correctly guessed.
