PERFORMANCE ART

This is Performance Art done by the students of 3rd E ESO in the Contemporary Art Museum of Móstoles (CA2M, Centro de Arte 2 de Mayo). We have been previously working in class a workshop with several exercises to get to understand the performance art. This is a term usually reserved to refer to a conceptual art which conveys a content-based meaning in a more drama-related sense, rather than being a simple performance for its own sake for entertainment purposes. Although it was not easy for them to understand, it was quite a good experience and it gave them the chance to work in another atmosphere, not limited by the walls of the High School. Their behaviour was also very different from the behaviour they normally have in class. I have to say I was not surprised, I knew they would be deeply involved with this activity. They did performances on the streets of Móstoles, and afterwards we had a meeting to discuss our feelings and thoughts about it. It was indeed, an excellent workshop!

WORKING WITH CLAY

Our students from Crafts have been doing pottery these last weeks. We still have to wait for the results, wait until the clay dries and then paint it. The final process will be the kiln, Emilio is the expert with it, so we will follow carefully his instructions. The kiln is a very important part on this process. We are all fascinated with the clay!

Ceramics

Our students from Crafts have been working with ceramic chalk on tiles, and applying afterwards a specific varnish for ceramics. We have to wait for the kiln, and then we will see...

Car Pitches

The students from 1st B/E have done Car Pitches, it was an interesting activity, we all enjoyed it. They have shown that they all have a really good sense of teamwork, helping each other in everything they could, and organizing pretty well, not just the work in class, but also their presentations. They have also done original and futuristic designs, I have to admit I was impressed by their work! 

 

Sand painting

A day of learning, experimentation, and fun in the computer lab! Working in partners, we explored the website <thisissand.com> and used the tools we found there to create original, colorful, and interesting paintings with sand. Go to the website's gallery to see some of our designs and others too! :-)

Making of "the Masquerade Masks"

Beautiful Plaster Masks done by the students of 1º D ESO. We all (myself included) really enjoyed it! It was a bit of a mess, but enjoyable, and an excellent result. Your masks look really good in the Main Hall, I did not want to take them down, but we will have to for your next project... sculptures!!!
