POSTCARDS FROM YOUR TOWN. 2nd ESO

Our new project consists on creating a collection of postcards from our town.

Postcards should be up-to-date and attractive designed. To achieve our goal we are going to use  Online Photo Editors.

We are going to start practising with some photo editors that let apply photo effects such as painting, converting into a drawing, an oilpainting or an old picture.

You will find these photo editors here.

Postcards from our town, step by step

1. Think about significant places or monuments in Torelló, for example buildings, churches, squares, streets...
2. Get a camera and take photos of your theme. Try to be original and to use different points of view.
3. Choose the photo you think it is the best one.
4. Apply some photo effects using any online photo editor we have been practising with.
5. You can also add some text (for example, the name of your theme).
6. The result should be as attractive as a postcard you could find in a souvenirs shop.
7. Send the result to the teacher by e-mail.

Remember:  this is an individual work!

I hope you enjoy it!

 

CREATING OPTICAL ILLUSIONS. 1st ESO

We have been talking about Visual Perception.
Now, it's time to start creating Optical Illusions using your camera.

I suggest you to shoot 1 or 2 pictures playing with your perception.  The aim is getting real images with an unreal appearance.  Something like this:

You can get inspired by other images like these ones. 
Send your pictures by email.

CREATE YOUR OWN MOVIE CHARACTER. 2nd ESO

When we read a story, we imagine characters in a different way that other people do.
It happens the same with movies.  Every director creates his own characters to tell the story.  And if two different directors shoot the same story, we can be sure that the results will be quite different.

Do you remember Cruella de Vil, the evil woman in "101 Dalmatians"?  She was drawn by Walt Disney in 1961.

In 1996, Glenn Close was the actress chosen to represent her in a film.

But in 1984 the famous artist Keith Haring painted his own Cruella:

 All of them are different, but they have also some things in common.

Now you have the chance to customize your own character. 

Activity

1. Choose your favourite film - not a cartoon.
2. Choose a character of the film that you especially like or dislike.
3. Draw a version of your character.  It must be your version, nor a copy of the original character.  It should be your interpretation of the character.
4. Write the tittle of the film and name of the character in a corner of the cardboard.
5. Material needed:  DIN A4 cardboard (half a DIN A3) and felt-tipped pens.

This activity is inspired by Plástica práctica.

VISUAL LANGUAGE. 3rd ESO

Visual language from Dolors Cubí

STUFF TALES PROJECT: VIDEOS READY!

El projecte "Stuff Tales" ja té alguns vídeos a punt.  No tots, però.  Hem tingut dificultats tècniques i també de manca de material (només disposàvem de 2 càmeres domèstiques i una va dir prou al cap d'uns dies).  També hem de dir que el projecte s'ha allargat massa en el temps (ens ha ocupat 2 trimestres sencers!), cosa que les darreres setmanes ha provocat bastant de cansament en els alumnes i un xic de desmotivació.

De moment, només us podem penjar 2 vídeos: Goldilocks (Rínxols d'Or) i Alice in Wonderland (Alícia al país de les meravelles).  A mesura que ens en vagin arribant, us els anirem mostrant.

Per cert, el dijous 4 de juliol s'inaugura al Centre d'Arts Contemporànies de Vic l'exposició que mostra tots els treballs participants en el projecte Art i Escola 02.

Aquí  teniu els contes.  Disfruteu-los!

Stuff Tales Project has some videos ready.  But not all of them.  We have had some technical difficulties, also lack of material (we had only 2 domestic cameras available, and one of them broke after a few days).  The project has been so long (we've been working in it for 2 whole trimesters!), and the last weeks students were so tired and demotivated.

By the moment, we only can share 2 movies: Goldilocks and Alice in Wonderland.  If we receive more, we're going to show you them.

Next Thursday 4th July Centre d'Arts Contemporànies de Vic opens an exhibition showing all the Artworks included in Art i Escola 02 project.

Here they are.  Enjoy them!
