It is not the first time I am posting block printing but the results are always too special and unique for me to easily avoid another post. Therefore I will not talk and let photos speak for themselves.

Berlin in our hearts!

While creating our poetry work for the March Madness call, we looked into the work of artist Tom Phillips, some pointillist painters and the movement itself.
In addition students worked on a poem build out of words written on the page of a book so it is coincidental sort of writing. It was quite an interesting work and the whole process of art is left to the children. Nice, open, free project.

In connection to our Unit of inquiry, Sharing the planet with energy at our goal, we spoke about energy of our bodies. We researched how the cool and warm parts of our bodies transfer it’s heath in colours on a thermal photography. Then we painted our heath and our coolness.
You can guess which colours represent which.
This was also the first time we tried live drawing at our class and that part was the most exciting. Especially who and when is going to pose.

We learned how to paint using the direction of the brush and the way we apply the paints. This will bring dimension to our paintings, the real feeling of the weather we want to present, breeze on the grass, summer in the air…
At the same time we were mixing all of our colours out of the three primary ones.
We did research works of an expressionst art group Der Blaue Reiter and were inspired by the beauty of their works and high-keyed colours they used to express their emotions.

Grade 1 spoke about celebrations and customs around the world: New Years Eve, Christmas, 1st of May, Hanukkah, Women’s day, Diwali, Carnival, Day of the dead, Halloween, St.Lucia.
We spoke about gathering of people and families and why these days are so important.
Beautiful aquarel works are presenting the excitement.

After a bit of work we are proud to show our stop-motion movies!
Our topic was Greek mythology so don’t get scared – we are not violent people! – we are only presenting the stories.
Our movies are a product of collaboration within art and music class. If you happen to have a bag of popcorn on your hands you can enjoy them with all your senses. And we hope you do!

After building a city focused on rhythm and balance in art, reaching them with composition, form, size and colour, we now researched the world of mixing colours using a collage technique.
Using cardboard shapes this becomes very easy and playful. Everything is open to experiment. Everything can be undone and redone. Slight change of a direction of the yellow shape can make a whole of a difference.

Kids made portrait of a school friend seating across. This time we looked at work of Amedeo Modigliani. Since Amadeo painted only eyes of people he knew and made eyes of unknown people empty looking, we are now able to chose one or the other for our paintings. Long faced we go towards new creations.
