Lines, shapes and colours

Hello everybody!!
¡Hola a todos!
Today I'm sharing two new art booklets. 
Hoy voy a compartir do nuevos cuadernillos para Plástica.

The first one is called "Colours everywhere", and can be used to explain our kids the basis about colours (primary and secondary colours, complementary colours, and graded colours). You'll need to use a colour wheel to explain some of the concepts, and you can find lots of them in the web.
 El primero se llama "Colours Everywhere", y puede utilizarse para explicar a los niños las ideas básicas sobre los colores (primarios y secundarios, complementarios....) Necesitaries utilizar una rueda de colores para explicar algunos conceptos.

Picasso Project

I have here another art project I did with my 2nd grade students last year.
Here you are the Teacher's notes for the project, ansd the booklet I gave the students to keep make some of the activities and to keep their work.

Meet picasso booklet from Alba Candela

During the first lesson, we were discussing what is an artist, with the kids ideas an thoungts. Then we saw a PPT presentation with some Picasso artworks. On the booklet they had to answer to some questions about the different paintings ansd to say what the pictures make them feel.

Later, we learnt about Picasso's life and the periods of his art.
We focused on the Blue and Pink periods to learn something about cold and warm colours, and how they make us feel. We painted the same drawing with different colours (cold and warm) to see how they looked different.

Aftehr that w discovered what Cubism and Impresionism is, and how Picasso  drew people imagining he was looking at them from the front and from one side at the same time. We alsomade some Picasso Portraits.

To finish with the project, we studied Picasso's famous painting: "El Guernica". We were looking for the details of the painting in a book, and trying to understand it. We learnt that it talks about war and suffering. We tryed to change it to making the "Ghernica of Peace". We had some silhouettes form the painting on large construction paper and in groups we coloured and decorated it, to finally put them on a great and colorfull background. (I took the silhouettes from www.padreshispanos.com)

We finished our project visiting "Reina Sofía" Museum and there we could see some Picasso paintings and "El Guernica" that is amazingly big!!!

Gaudi art project

Two years ago, when I was teaching my first 1st graders, I created an Art project about the life and work of Antoni Gaudi. I was very proud of this project, and I  think my students learnt something, too. :-D
First I told them about the life of a boy called Antoni Gaudi, who became a fomous architect and artist. 

Hace dos años, cuando ensañaba a mis primeros alumnos de primero, cree un proyecto para pñastica sobre la vid ay obra de Antonio Gaudi, Estoy muy orgullosa de este proyecto. 
Primero les hablé de la historia de un chico llamado Antoni Gaudi, que se convirtió en un famoso arquitecto y artista.

Then I gave them a booklet on which we will do different activities related to Gaudi.
Después les repartí un cuadernillo en el que hicimos diferentes actividades relacionadas con Gaudí.

To inspire students while working, I created a Power Point presentation whith the most relevant buildings form Gaudi.
Para inspirar a los alumnos mientras trabajaban, creé una presentación de Power Point con los edificios mas relevantes de Gaudí.
