1r CONCURS DE PUNTS DE LLIBRE DE SANT JORDI

ON HI HA UN PUNT HI HA UN CAMÍ...

Heus aquí un vídeo preciós sobre la creativitat que tots portem dins...

STILL LIFE. 4t Primària

The students of 4t drew a still life painting. To do it, they took some real objects from home: jars, vases, flower pots, glasses...

Then, we arranged them in four different compositions and the students drew the one which contained the object they had taken. They used pencil to draw the figures and carbon pencil for the shadows.

Children experimented with light and shade: they looked at the object and studied their shape and the shadows the objects made in relation to other objects.

WINTER LANDSCAPE. 4t Primària

The students of 4t of primària made a typical penguin ice winter landscape.

First of all, they painted a card with a white wax crayon. Afterwards, they crumpled it up as if it was a ball. They pressed the paper very hard for a few minutes and then they unfolded it again. The second step was to paint the entirely card with blue paint and, just immediately, clean the paint under the tap. The blue paint remained mainly on the paper creases.

The card appearance was like the Antarctica, full of ice shelves. The students used some blue wax crayons to distinguish the lines that separate the sea, the sky and the ice.

Finally, they made some origami penguins with bright color paper. They used different sizes to create a penguin family.   

QUEREMOS MUSICARTE

"QUEREMOS MUSICARTE", un interessant projecte per als professors d'Educació Visual i Plàstica i Música:

CLOWN - PAUL KLEE. 4t Primària

The students of 4t of primària painted a composition of Paul Klee: Clown. 

They chose different wax crayons colors depending on the feeling they wanted to express: happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, coldness, etc. For example, if they wanted to express happiness, they chose colors as red, yellow, green, purple…. In case they preferred a scared clown they chose red, black and white wax crayons among others. 

The final compositions are very colorful because it’s a mixture of many colors. Do you like them?

LANDSCAPE MURALS USING CARDBOARD. 4t primària

The students of 4t of primària made some landscape murals using a very original technique. Firstly, they cut down some pieces of cardboard of different sizes. Then, they used the edges of them to deep into the paint and draw the pictures. By moving the cardboard upwards, downwards or diagonally, the made very concrete objects: roofs, walls, windows, trees, clouds, ducks, parrots….Every group of 3 or 4 students chose a different landscape: tropical forest, sunrise, jungle, winter forest, cloudy day… 

After two weeks of hard work, they got some original landscapes. Do you like them?

DECORACIÓ DE NADAL

Finalment, després de bastantes setmanes de feina, hem penjat la decoració nadalenca que aquest any ha preparat cada escola de Torelló. 

Us faig cinc cèntims del procés.

A mitjans d'octubre l'ajuntament va reunir les escoles del poble per tal d'encarregar-nos la decoració d'una plaça.  Quin encàrrec!, vam exclamar tot el claustre en pes.  Sí, es tractava d'escollir una de les places del poble i, utilitzant materials reciclats, fer-ne la decoració nadalenca.  Una feinada, sí senyor, que no havíem planificat de cap manera, s'immiscuïa enmig del curriculum i havíem d'enllestir en menys de 2 mesos.

Com que l'any passat havia construit unes cortines de taps amb els alumnes de 4t d'ESO, vaig suggerir que podríem utiltizar la mateixa tècnica per simular una nevada de taps blancs i blaus.  Es tractava de convertir la plaça en un paisatge d'hivern, nevat o glaçat.  Es va proposar muntar arbres de nadal amb materials reciclats, i l'Àngels va fer una tasca increïble de cerca de models per internet (beneïda xarxa!).

Pel que fa a la ubicació, en un principi ens havíem decidit per la Placeta d'en Pujol (altrament coneguda com a plaça dels taxis), però després de consultar-ho amb el coixí vam declinar la idea, ja que ens arriscàvem a ser envaïts per la xurreria ambulant (mai absent en aquestes dates) i pel campament reial del 5 de gener.

En una primera inspecció ocular, la comissió que es va formar (l'Àngels, l'Anna, l'Esther, la Jordina i jo, i perdoneu si m'oblido d'algú), va confirmar que la Placeta no s'adeia amb els nostres objectius i, tot rumiant com penjaríem la pluja de taps dels porxos de la segona opció, la Plaça Vella, vam descobrir la infrautilitzada Plaça de Mn. Cinto Verdaguer, amb una magnífica farola plantada al mig que faria les delícies de les nostres cortines.

A continuació calia començar a recollir material.  Ampolles, garrafes, taps de tota mena...  Hem d'agrair la col·laboració de les famílies, que ens van literalment colgar de plàstic.  Un dels pares de l'AMPA, que és fuster, va construir les estructures de fusta que seríen els esquelets dels arbres.  I apa, vinga, a passar estones al taller enfilant taps i enfilant ampolles.  Tothom ha tingut feina, des dels més menuts d'Infantil fins als de 4t d'ESO.

Finalment, ha arribat el matí gèlid de l'11 de desembre.  Teníem la brigada municipal a la nostra disposició (amb grua inclosa) per procedir al muntage.  Ens hem passat tot el matí lligant els fils de les cortines (maleïts embolics!) i muntant els arbres.  Quin fred que hem passat!

El resultat final, com podeu comprovar, és espectacular.  Estem més que orgullosos de la feina feta.  I el millor de tot és que hem compartit estones amb les i els alumnes, les mares i els pares, mestres i professors:  HEM FET ESCOLA.

ENHORABONA A TOTHOM!
I BONES FESTES!

PIG'S FAMILY. 4t primària

The students of 4t made a pig’s family using the sewing technique. Firstly, they marked the outline of the pigs on a pink plush cloth with a felt-tip pen. More specifically, there were three different pattern sizes: small pig, medium pig, and big pig. After cutting it, the next step was to sew the buttons on pig’s eyes and nose using a hand-sewing needle with black tread. Once the whole family was completed, the last step was to stick the pigs on a card paper and add some pieces of green paper to represent the grass.

A SPECIAL GARDEN. 4rt primària

The students of 4rt of primària made a beautiful garden. Firstly, they painted a card paper in different shades of green imitating a garden. Then, they cut some flowers patterns and they printed them on the garden using colorful paint: red, orange, purple, yellow, etc. The last step was to add some details on the flowers (petals, shades, dots, stigmas…) as well as the stems and the leaves in order to make the picture more colorful and realistic.

STILL LIFE. 4t primària

The students of 4rt drew a still life painting. To do it, they took some real objects from their homes: jars, flower pots, glasses... Then, we arranged them in two different compositions and the students drew the one they preferred. They used pencil to draw the figures and carbon pencil for the shadows. Children experimented with light and shade.

COASTERS.4t primària

The students of 4rt made these original coasters to put glasses, cans and other drinks on them. Firstly, they drew some circles on a special plastic using a permanent marker. Secondly, they cut them with scissors. The next step was to take a little piece of modeling clay and roll it back and forth to create a snail. Then, they put the modeling clay between two plastic pieces and they pressed very hard using a rolling pin. Finally, they removed the excess modeling clay around the circles.

Do you want something to drink?

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES. 4t primària

The students of 4rt made a composition called “Concentric Circles” by the Russian painter Kandinsky.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866 – 1944) was a Russian-French painter. His style of painting originally belonged to expressionism and he was one of the artists who gave shape to the abstract art in the early XX ^th century.

Students divided the paper into 6 squares and then draw concentric circles using a different color scheme for each square. More specifically, they used wax crayons for both the circles and the back part. Then, they varnished the composition to make it brighter and more colorful.

Icy Landscape. 4t primària

In winter time, penguins enjoy playing and skating on the ice. The pupils of 4art have done this colorful landscape, painting the sea and some icebergs and making funny penguins using the origami technique.
