PAINTING MUSIC

Today we've been painting music. Yes, MUSIC!. First Digital students have discovered lot of things about Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian abstract painter and also an Art Theorist. 
Olga, our English Language assistant, told them that for Kandinsky, music and color were inextricably tied to one another. Kandinsky associated each note with an exact hue. He once said, “the sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes or dark lake with treble.”
In fact, it was after having an unusually visual response to a performance of Wagner’s composition Lohengrin at the Bolshoi Theatre that he abandoned his law career to study painting at Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He later described the life-changing experience: “I saw all my colors in spirit, before my eyes. Wild, almost crazy lines were sketched in front of me.”

The neurological phenomenon Kandinsky experienced is called synesthesia. People with synesthesia might smell something when they hear a sound, or see a shape when they eat a certain food. Kandinsky literally saw colors when he heard music, and heard music when he painted.
After the presentation, Olga made students listen to different music and draw a composition. These are some of them.

GREEN HEARTS


Our school developed an environmental project last year. We did lot of activities related to it. This course we are going on trying to make students be aware of how paramount is to take care of our planet. 
At the end of this month there will be an important event in Paris. It's called COP21. And, what is COP21? It is the 21st Conference of the Parties, that is to say, the annual meeting of all countries which want to take action for the climate. It will be held in Le Bourget, France, from 30 Novembre to 11 December.
As we want to do our bit for the environment, during those days all of us are going to wear green hearts. Not whatever hearts but the perfect geometric ones!!

MONDRIAN'S STYLE

Our lovely language assistant, Olga Drotenko, showed First students a presentation about Piet Mondrian's life and artwork. Then, using the app SKETCHBOOK, digital students wrote their names, fave English word, a sentence or an object in Mondrian's style, that's to say, drawing black perpendicular lines and primary colours: red, blue and yellow. Non-digital students did the same activity but using traditional tools. These are some of their works.

GEOMETRIC PUZZLE

I finished collecting all compositions by my First Bilingual students last week and I have been taking pictures, resizing and playing with them to create these awesome big designs. There are lot of possible combinations. These will join others by 1ºC students to decorate the corridor between their classrooms. Good job!!!
