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.

Last December, as part of our Art and Emotions school projects, 6th graders, who are studying graffiti as an artistic way to express ideas and emotions, discovered Thierry Noir. He was the first artist who painted on the Berlin Wall. If you want to discover him too, watch the presentation below:

Based on some of his work, we made our own artwork for our 2016 calendar. See some examples below:

SCULPTURE INTRODUCTION

Hi there! We're Our Art creations are back! 

This year, our school project is about Arts and Emotions, so in our Art lessons we'll try to work on different Arts and what they make us feel. 

We've decided October will be dedicated to the emotion of  FEAR, so we've worked on different Art representations of this feeling.

Sixth graders worked on this feeling through the Art of Sculpture. We chose the Swiss artist Giacometti and his tall and thin creations as an introduction to Sculpture and as a representation of fear. 

To learn about the artist, we used this slideshow:

Giacometti from Neus Marí Tur

We worked with foil paper to make our creatures.

 

 

 We gave each sculpture a personality and are now making presentation for the rest of the class to choose the best character. These are our final creations.
