English & Art: Xul Solar - 5to grado

    This year 5th form students learnt about different art movements in the classroom like realistic and abstract art, cubism and fauvism. We’ve also been learning about the famous artists who started these movements, such as Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Henri Matisse.

    Students felt inspired by them and became interested in their styles and techniques. They had fun while making different shapes, playing with colours, using their imagination and expressing themselves. They did different activities to learn about these important artists, the use of colours and many types of artworks. They even created their own artworks!

          

At the end of the workshop, the students were introduced to Alejandro Schulz Solari, known as Xul Solar, an abstract artist from Argentina.

Finally, the students visited the museum "Xul Solar", where they saw the different paintings by this amazing artist, and continued learning about his life.

Here are some of the students’ pictures: We’re all artists!


  

    Before returning to school, the guide answered all the questions from the students. They all had a great time!
    Look at this wonderful video of the visit to the museum: enjoy it!

4th Form • Art Workshop

Every Monday afternoon, we have our Art Workshop in English. We learn about the life of different artists and analyze their most famous masterpieces. We discover lots of information about the painters and the museums where we can find their paintings. Currently, we are learning about Vincent Van Gogh, a Dutch artist that you´ve probably heard of!!!. We analysed "Bedroom in Arles" and "Starry Night" and learnt about the artistic movement called "post-impressionism". We even painted our own versions of those pieces of art! Finally we discovered the sunflower maze at the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands and the MoMA (Museum of Modern Arts) in New York.     Starry Night (interactive animation) from Petros Vrellis on Vimeo .
