DRAWING, CLAY AND PUPPETS

This second class has not disappointed me neither , this subject is in the well way.

At the beginning of class, we started doing an activity that consisted to draw with charcoal the limits of a branchs and then draw a few details, such as rinsing with a rubber or using paints.

Personally, I didn't like pink but I discovered that mixing the pink and green paint could find the brown color, so I mixed brown and use to paint some of my drawing.

This activity also helps us understand our future students that it is not necessary to draw exactly what we see, but we can also interpret reality according to our tastes, interests or perspectives. 

After this activity we use another method to promoting creativity and skill while we learned things about artists and people of culture of Ghent, in a way that as we learned, we developed our originality and skill. It will surely be one of the methods to use in the future. You convinced me how to mix theory and practice.

Finally, we started to make a paper mache doll. I chose to make a scarecrow because I thought it was not very complicated and because making several trips by train've seen a few in the fields of Belgium and shocked me because I had not seen one in reality, everyone in the cinema.

Changing the subject, the other day visiting Bruges impacted me this picture. At first I thought that the sunshine was of the painting because the figures are looking exactly in that direction. But then I found it was a real sunshine lightning. It was just coincidence that the figures were arranged to look the sunshine. Or maybe not?. What do you think?

Moreover, here you have a few of my favorite photos I took during the tour on the first day.

And finally, here I leave some photos about Museum of Arts and Sciences of Valencia (my town) from our most famous architect in Valencia, Calatrava. In the you can see aspects of science, opera, oceanography and many culure of Valencia. 

If you go on a trip to Valencia this is a compolsory stop! :)

                                                                            

See you in the next post. 

Greetings to everyone!

PREMIERING BLOG

The first impression for this subject was very different than I expect. I think that we are use to think that art class is only to draw and make crafts sitting on the desk all the time, but I have to say that there was a thing to glad for me , because we were on movement and we didn't stop to do activities and because personally I'm an unquiet person and allways I preffer to teach with dinamic methods than with tradicional methods.

I have good feelings about Art Class, I hope that it being like now.

Well, as I told to some of you I love to practice sports or everithing related with it and one of my best hobbies it to do kayaking.

And for introduce some of typical things in my city, I present you the Paella, a very typical food in my zone. All my province is full of rice fields and the valencian people use to eat it a lot of times. In this photo I appear with one paella in my free hour to eat while I was working like a lifeguard.

Soon, more curiosities about my city and more about curiosities in my staying in belgian grounds.

See you soon :)
