CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS RECYCLING

Christmas is already here, and we are going to give our Art Class an original touch creating our own Christmas decorations with reclycled materials. We will work in groups and individually.

Here are some ideas:

RECYCLING CD'S

Wonderful job done by the students of first and second of ESO

CHRISTMAS TREE

MINI CHRISTMAS TREE

This is another idea for Christmas. It is a mini Christmas tree, done with a plastic bottle, colour cardboards, rapping paper, scissers, glue and some Christmas decorations. For those who found the Stars difficult this is a VERY EASY Christmas Craft.

LETS DO IT!

CANARIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE: PINTADERAS CANARIAS

CANARIAN PINTADERAS

**Discovering Pintaderas Canarias: Ancient Canary Island Stamps and a Creative Geometry**

Activity

Examples of Pintaderas

Below are some representative examples of pintaderas canarias. These images show the variety of shapes and motifs commonly found in archaeological collections.

(Images taken from the blog IZURAN)

PINTADERA MAGEC OR SOLAR

PINTADERAS WITH ASTRAL SHAPES

Look for patterns such as triangles, squares, spirals, or combinations of regular polygons arranged in circular compositions. These will be helpful for your activity.

Important: First Create the Design on A4 Drawing Paper

Before progressing to any hands-on activity, students must first create their pintadera design on A4 drawing paper.

This step allows you to:

Plan the proportions of the geometric pattern
Decide which polygons to use
Experiment with symmetry and composition
Prepare a clean reference drawing (the sketch in your note book)

This A4 design becomes the blueprint for the optional extension activity.

5. Optional Extension Activity: Create a Pintadera Using Modeling Clay

For students who want to take the project further, there is an optional creative activity:

Make Your Pintadera with Modeling Clay

Students may:

Shape a circular clay tablet.
Transfer the geometric design from their A4 drawing.
Carve, press, or sculpt the lines and shapes.
Add textures or raised surfaces inspired by archaeological pintaderas.

This activity allows you to connect more deeply with the original purpose of pintaderas, exploring how ancient artisans might have worked with similar materials.

Learning Goals

Understand the cultural significance of pintaderas canarias.
Identify and analyze geometric patterns in historical art.
Use mathematical concepts to create an original artistic design.
Connect cultural heritage with creative expression.

UNIT 5: TRIANGLES AND QUADRILATERALS

TRIANGLES

	A triangle has three sides and three angles
	The three angles always add to 180°

TYPES OF TRIANGLES

LET´S CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH THIS QUIZLET

PRACTISE AND LEARN: TYPES OF TRIANGLES

-----------------------------------------------------

QUADRILATERALS

Quadrilateral just means "four sides" (quad means four, lateral means side). Any four-sided shape is a Quadrilateral. But the sides have to be straight, and it has to be 2-dimensional
