WEEK 42 - Ainhoa Merino

 CIRCUS AND MORE


If I speak sincerely I did not see any logic in doing circus. I didn't understand the logic or the relationship of doing circus with all the things we had worked on before.

The first day we had a first contact with the circus and we worked on several things such as, for example, making figures with our bodies, juggling, balance, ball games, different materials such as ribbons, hoops... I still didn't understand what was the connection between circus and fairytale.




The next day we went on the trip to Strandheim and there I was able to make some connections. We were able to create a story, working on fairytales in general. In addition, we also worked on dramatization because we had to act out the story. And, on top of that, we used techniques we learned in the circus to tell the story. That is, we connected everything we had been working on before. We made an ensemble.

Besides, I found it very interesting to work on making a puppet with natural materials, because this could be very interesting for us in the future. Thanks to this process the children can work in groups while working on their speech to agree on their ideas, explore the field to find different materials, work on their imagination, motor skills.... I really liked this exercise.


In general, I can say that I found this trip really interesting and useful for my teaching profile.

Week 38 - Stop-motion Animation by Eva Pérez

Eva Pérez Abril STOP-MOTION ANIMATION   This week we have been working on the technique called "Stop-motion", which consists of making static objects appear to move by means of a series of successive still images. The movement is constructed by manipulating an object, with one's own hands, frame by frame.   On Thursday I had to create an animation with two pictures using bold black pens and two sheets of paper and doing two drawings with a small difference. 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.
