PlusDirecto, comunicador y muy creativo, Gusti es un excelente motivador. Usando materiales sencillos, anima a jugar con las formas y el color, sin olvidar las historias que hay debajo de las ilustraciones infantiles. Salir a tomar apuntes del natural es un estupendo recurso para practicar el dibujo.
