BILINGUAL SECTIONS: Arts & crafts

As you know, this school year we continue learning Arts & Crafts as a bilingual section. That means that we use English as well as Galician during the lessons. 

We are developing a project around the seasons, the perfect excuse to observe the changes in nature from an emotional and artistic perspective. Under the title "4 in a year" we are approaching to different artistic languages, styles, techniques, formats and artists. 

During the first term of this school year 2024-2025, we worked around the autumn or fall, and learned about the Pointillism with Georges Seurat. We also met Giuseppe Arcimboldo and his famous portraits out of fruits and veggies. Finally, we counted on the presence of Xulio Gallego, a teacher and local artist who taught us how to use the perspective and the vanishing points in our drawings. Thank you, Xulio, for all your knowledge, patience and commitment. See you in winter!

Now enjoy this presentation with all our creations. We are real artists!
