HAPPY FAMILY DAY 2014!

Today, May 15th International Family Day is celebrated, so, to show our families how appreciated they are, in our bilingual Art lessons we made a little something for them. We made stained glass candle holders (they can be also used as flower vases).

We brought a glass jar to school (from jam, youghourt, ...). We cut some TISSUE PAPER into little pieces and made 4 different colour combinations. After that, we were ready. We took GLUE, spread it all over the jar and stick the tossue paper.

After the hard work (our hands became VERY STICKY!), we put them to dry. Meanwhile, we started making our family day cards. We drew our family using thumb prints.

Once they were dry, this is what we got :)

We wrapped them.

And took them home!

Well done, kids! I hope your families loved them! 

PS: HAPPY FAMILY DAY!

OUR 2014 CALENDARS

As every year, we have made a calendar for our families. This year, 4th graders got inspired by jellyfish, the ocean creature they have chosent to study. We drew a group of jellyfish seen from a submarine window.

CHRISTMAS CARD DESIGNS

Hi there! 

Here you are the Christmas cards designs we presented to our town's Christmas card contest. The activity consisted of making a free Christmas card design. Some of you got inspired by some Christmas designs we saw and, surprisingly, many of you incorporated our "( months under the sea" school project into your drawings, creating images of a Christmas under the sea. Great job!

AUTUMN LEAVES CREATIONS

To join a little Autumn Exhibition organized at our school, we elaborated the following creations made with autumn leaves. We used:

• a piece of paper
• leaves
• crayons
• glue 
• scissors
• markers
• and, as always, lots of IMAGINATION.

Here's the presentation. We hope you'll like them!

OUR KLIMT AND KANDINSKY-INSPIRED WORK

After our trees "Klimt style" full of Kandinsky leaves we learned a little bit more about these two authors and decided to do our own version of some of their creations to keep practising on mixing and combining colours, drawing lines and shapes, watercolouring...  Here are some pics of our work, if you'd like to see...// Después de hacer nuestros árboles "Klimt style" llenos de hojas "Kandinsky style", y tras la experiencia descubriendo a Matisse y su arte, decicimos profundizar un poquito más en el trabajo de estos otros dos autores y hacer nuestras propias versiones de alunos de sus cuadros pra seguir aprendiendo sobre cómo combinar colores, trazar líneas, dibujar formas, pintar con acuarela, usar el pincel... Aquí os queda una muestra de nuestro trabajo.

And here's a little video with the whole activity:
