A Pinhole camera

- Hello students!
As we said, you have to bring a Cardboard Box, it can be a shoe box or any other box that is a little bit strong. We are going to make a camera with it. 

- A camera?
- Yes, a camera!
- You mean a toy camera. 
- No, no... a real camera. We're going to take pictures with it.
- Aahhh! We're going to put a disc in it.
- No, it can work without a disc.
- Then we should put a memory in it, and a battery, because it can't work without a battery...
- This camera doesn't need a battery, a disc, or a memory stick. 
- No way! 
- Well... we're going to try and see what happens.

A ZENTANGLE is a fun way to create images by drawing structured patterns.
This is going to be our first project:
First you have to draw circles, we're going to do them with a compass.
Then you have 

to draw a different pattern on every space.

Wooow! Look what 6th graders have done...

Excellent!

PAUL KLEE

Hello students and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This year we're going to start with an artist called Paul Klee.
Have you heard of him?

Paul klee.ppt from nurlorenzo

1st cycle: Castle and sun

2nd cycle: The cat and the bird

3rd cycle: Self-portrait

Our 5th and 6th graders are drawing a selp-portrait inspired by PAUL KLEE.
First they have to trace their features (sometimes with the help of the mirror) and trace them in permanent pen. 
Then they cut coloured paper and lay them on the portrait.
Finally they have to spray water and wait until the colour dyes the blank paper. 
Look at the result... Beautiful!!
