15th MAY: FAMILY DAY

Last Sunday, 15th May it was Family Day.

As every year, we made a little something for our families. We worked hard! Below are some photos if you'd like to see.

Third graders worked with play-dough to make a set of coasters fro their families. They made some Miró-inspired ones and some marbled ones.

 

Fourth graders experimented with paper-maché and created a bowl/tray for their families (to put the keys, some chocolates, ...)

 And last, but not least! Fifth graders made a set of hanging photo frames for their families. 

 

DISCOVERING WOMEN ARTISTS III- FRIDA KAHLO

Fifh graders are going to discover and learn about the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo as part of our Women International Day project. There's some information on the interactive image below.

PICASSO MONSTERS

Last October-November, while working on the feeling of FEAR and Halloween, we discovered Picasso and his cubist figures. 

We watched the video of the story Picasso's trousers to discover this wonderful artist.

We practiced our cutting skills, drawing shapes, symmetry, colour combination, ...

And we made monsters inspired by Picasso's art. You can see some examples below.

Fift graders made a different version of the same activity, using cardboard and scrap paper to make little sculptures.

FEELINGS SELFIES

Our first Art activity of the year was to draw ourselves at a moment from our summer. We had to choose a moment and draw ourselves according to how we felt at that moment. Below you can see some of our cell-fies.

A DELICIOUS FAMILY DAY!

Hello everyone! Last Friday 15th May it was Family Day. For this reason, as every year, we prepared a little gift for our families in our Art lessons. 

Since this school year project is  "Around the world on top of a plate", we decided to make something related to food. 

 Third graders made beautiful cookie tins reusing chips tins. First, we covered the tins with white paper and then we painted them.

After that, we cut out letters with the word COOKIES and some other shapes to decorate the tins.  To make them look shinier, we covered them with some decoupage glue.

And this was the result!

Then we made some cookies to put in the tins.

Yummy!

4th and 5th graders made a bowl and filled it with "classroom-made" chocolates.

To make the bowl, we used the paper maché technique.

Once it was hard and dry, we popped the balloon out and covered the outside with patterned paper and painted the inside.

This was the result.

We also made some chocolates to put in the bowl We used a super simple with just 3 ingredients: CHOCOLATE, CORN FLAKES AND BUTTER.

 

Once the chocolates were made, we put them in the fridge for about 15 minutes, wrote a card for our family and prepared everything to wrap ouir gift.

 It took us a while, but we were all very proud of our creations, and the COOKIES and CHOCOLATES were delicious!!
