Land Art in Getafe

This was my 'Land Art' experience with my last course students. Not all of them would be called 'Land Art' but... they did their best and enjoy a lot! I strongly encourage you to do this activity with your students!

LAND ART

Our students from 1st C ESO have been experimenting and creating their own interpretation of Land Art. And here is an artistic example with a lot of creativity. Congratulations Andrea, Mayte, Marta and Natalia. It is a gorgeous and beautiful example!

Making Masks

Beautiful Plaster Masks done by the students of 1º D ESO. We all (myself included) really enjoyed it! It was a bit of a mess, but enjoyable, and an excellent result. Your masks look really good in the Main Hall, I did not want to take them down, but we will have to for your next project... sculptures!!!

Viewfinder

Do you remember building and using a viewfinder in Endicott? It was one of our first assignments. Besides, Alfredo used it to choose a portion of his mask sketch to creat his collograph:

My 1st ESO students have built their own viewfinder and learned how to use it. Your will find the information I gave to them in the article "Viewfinder...". And results will be soon published...
Here they are:

1st A - 1st B - 1st C - ESO

Now, we have to use them... if it doesn't rain.
