Here are some photos Anna & her students uploaded with their first trial at creating mask expressing emotions. The students really enjoyed playing, acting and creating some scenes using these masks.The related file titled "Expressing emotions" was written by the students, too... And the next step will be to make a video presenting some situations!

We keep working on emotions, trying to 'draw' them. The activity started with a small group of students, and then was carried on with the whole class.

CLASSE 2^ C

ESPRESSIVITA' DEI VOLTI NELLE PITTURE DI GIOTTO DI BONDONE

EXPRESSIVENESS OF FACES IN GIOTTO' S PAINTINGS

Nell'ambito della lezione di storia della pittura italiana del Trecento, abbiamo affrontato il tema dell'espressività dei volti dipinti da Giotto, in particolare nella Cappella degli Scrovegni di Padova e nella Basilica superiore di San Francesco d'Assisi.

During a lesson about the history of Italian 14th century painting, the students were presented with the topic of the extreme expressivenes of faces in Giotto's work, with particular reference to the affrescoes in the Cappella degli Scrovegni (Padua) and in the Saint Francis Cathedral ( Assisi).

Stupore, meraviglia, terrore, adorazione, paura, sgomento sono le principali espressioni che attraverso i volti dei protagonisti delle opere possiamo cogliere.

Wonder, amazement, terror, fear, devotion, adoration, dismay are among the main emotions which can still be read in these  faces, in spite of the fact that they were painted so many centuries ago.

Ai ragazzi è stato proposto di ridisegnare i volti delle pitture di Giotto, attraverso una griglia di supporto, cercando di riprodurre l'espressività originale.

The students were asked to reproduce the faces, supported by a guiding grid, and to try to make evident the original expressiveness. 

 

2^A: WORKING ON EMOTIONS

The teacher introduced the topic and promoted a brainstorming activity on  how we can communicate, the difference between language and non-verbal language, what we can express through the body-language and facial expressions.Then, students suggested a list of words, expressing feelings, moods and emotions. In the end, children used the body-language to  express emotions.

We are also working on emotions!!! Students had an emotionstorming aiming to alter their emotion awareness, EQ. They reacted on scenarios of "I feel ........  when ......", described their emotions on certain facts and when they saw specific pistures. Then they expressed themselves by drawing some expressions!!!
