Draw a simplified Christmas tree:

 a big triangle. Measure it from the middle line. After this, draw lines across the drawing sheet: from top to bottom, from left to right, from top or bottom to the sides etc.

The tree has to be painted with different green colours (mix them!). The background has to be painted with warm mixed colours. If dry, the lines in the tree have to be drawn with a silver marker, the lines from the background with a gold marker.

Thank you to Kids artist blog for this idea

Scientific week

We have also done some crafts in 3rd and 4th of ESO during the scientific week.  I helped

Ms Rubio to make some  rain sticks in 3rd ESO  and we  made some candle holders made out of  glass jars and some plastic spoons in 4th ESO.

Some of them looked great!

Scientific Week

This year the scientific week has been dedicated to 

REDUCING, REUSING AND RECYCLING

so we have been working with recycled materials to give them a second use.

First we made some research in the classroom using our ipads  and then, we started with our own projects.

DRAWING WITH SCISSORS

Technique of the Cut Outs
With the aid of his assistants, Matisse invented a systematic approach to the technique of his cut outs.. First, his studio assistants brushed Linel gouaches on sheets of white paper.
Once dry a stockpile  of colored paper were available to Matisse at any given time. He often quite spontaneously cut out elements and placed them into compositions.

 The cut out was not an renunciation of painting and sculpture: he called it “painting with scissors.” Matisse said, "Only what I created after the illness constitutes my real self: free, liberated.” Moreover, experimentation with cut-outs offered Matisse innumerable opportunities to fashion a new, aesthetically pleasing environment: "You see as I am obliged to remain often in bed because of the state of my health, I have made a little garden all around me where I can walk... There are leaves, fruits, a bird.
