THE LAST UPDATE + VIDEO ASSESSMENT

Yes, this will be my last update. A pity that this comes to an end ...

So here I leave my video explaining and reflecting generally has taught and made ​​art class . I think you 'll agree that it has been a very rewarding subject .

Finally, I would like to share with you my last contribution. Make school Falla.

Fallas is an old tradition that comes from Valencia that involves burning huge monuments made ​​of cardboard and wood. They are very popular because they can reach 30m altitude and designs and colors are varied and bright.

There are variety of topics and are usually based on social and political criticism.

So it's a good opportunity to move a school this tradition. So we can create our own class with a mini Falla made ​​of cardboard and recycled materials.

 

As is tradition, the last day of the Valencia Fallas, this one is burned. This represents that all the critics are burned to symbolize that all demands will be met.

So, until here my blog. Thanks to all who have visited, thanks for being part of this experience and I hope that I have served all my contributions. 

I hope that everything goes well for everyone. 

A hug.
