ARTS & CRAFTS

It is often said that the dirtier you end up doing an activity, the more fun you have had. This week I had a great time in Arts & Crafts classes. 

I think that is very important and interesting to experience ourselves the activities that we can do with our students later. 


Stop-motion animation

I had never done a stop-motion activity before and it is a very easy resource to create and use, as well as being very attractive. 

Our story is about 2 jellyfish that with their eyes dazzle other characters passing by until they finally finish them off. 



Clay puppets

We also learned how to make puppets out of clay. When I was at school the use of clay was very common but I never thought I could use it to create puppets. Also this puppets could be used in a future to tell stories to my pupils.

Troll made of clay

We made a sculpture of a troll inspired by some images we found on the web while we were thinking about what we could create. 

The creation process was a lot of fun but also very messy. First we created an iron sculpture which we then covered with clay and finally painted. 

It was quite a challenge.

Causing an action was important. I decided to do a Mickey Mouse running. Here is the result:  Animation with two pictures On Wednesday we did in groups an altercation (altercation of two everyday objects), an origami (an origami boat), a snowman (snowman turning back) and a superhero congratulation card.  Altercation We use a cup of coffee and some food for doing the animation. We also put some music to emphasise the situation.  Origami We decided to make an origami boat. The main challenge here was trying to...

WEEK 37 - Art project as team building?

Imagen
PETRA This week we spent making different kinds of puppets. It was interesting and also fun to try all those tasks and create something real. But I think the most important thing I have learnt is that you can use an art project as a task for a whole group of students, not only as an individual work.
