To celebrate 9th of May eTwinning launched a contest about Cultural heritage. It is very much regarding our common work so our pupils were ready to work on it
To celebrate eTwinning and Cultural Heritage in schools, we are inviting teachers to get creative with their students and recreate a European artwork of their choice
Select an artwork of your choice. You can use Europeana’s resources and search for your favourite artwork to recreate. They can be a famous European painting, or another artwork from your local area. You can recreate the artwork either by making a tableau vivant, creating a video, or combining two art works into one.
Europeana website is indeed very rich and useful
In Madrid, at Scuola Italiana, we spent 9th of May visiting the wonderful Reina Sofia museum after a workshop on Picasso masterpiece : the guitar.
We went on crossing languages and styles, muxing up music, poems and artworks. Have a look at the results!
In Spain, at C.E.I.P Vidal Portela we used some artists from our partners research to celebrate this day.
5th A graders were inspired by Matisse works to recreate some paintings.
They recreated 2 works both on paper and being a tableau vivant.
5th B graders were characters in Lowry´s paintings , using Pontevedra "plazas" as backgrounds.
Lowry was the artist inspiring 5th B graders. We had discovered that some painting by this artist could have been "painted" in our town:
Old house, Flint
Street scene , St Simon´s church.
5th B graders recreated several Lowry´s paintings:
6th graders made a collage using Peregrina church and some match men figures they made.
At Steeton in England, we drew pictures inspired by our friends in Spain, and by L S Lowry!
At SP 9 Dzierżoniów we celebrated eTwinning Day with traditional dances and songs.
Polish students also worked on a Polish painter Olga Boznańska (1865-1940) and worked with some of her pictures: "A girl with Chrysanthemums" and "Roses in a Vase". The whole eTwinning team worked on a live picture of "A Girl with Chrysanthemums".
