Expressive Art Lesson - How to deal with conflicts

The lesson today was about  CONFLICTS.  We defined what is a conflict and we talked about different types of conflicts. 
The students were them given  3 pieces of paper: Small circle, Large circle, and a strip of 1.5" x 6" paper.
They were to create a "snowman" and make sure that this snowman had as many accessories as possible: hat, scraf, arms, face, etc.
It was interesting to see how the students thought it was impossible to do however though their persistance they were able to accomplished the task.
I made sure that they understood that any conflict (problem) that they have in school with another student or adult - that it can be solved - you just can't give up and you have to find ways to use what you have to make things work.
Here are pictures of some of the snowmen.  (I created a large bulleting board display for the entire school to see):
