Last year we went to Allariz and we watched a lovely  painted forest by some Agustín Ibarrola's  Pupils and this year we have  decided to work on this famous Basque painter and sculptor.

Agustín Ibarrola was born 1930 in Basauri, well known for his 'Enchanted Forest' of painted trees in the Forest of Oma (in the Spanish Basque comunnity).

We visited the two most famous forest, by watching this two videos

Winter is the coldest season of the year in temperate climates, between autumn and spring. At the winter solstice, the days are shortest and the nights are longest. It begins to snow  in Chicago and we are learning some crafts our Language assistant is learning.

Here you have some globes we made with black cards and white chalk at 5th classes:


  

And in this presentation, pupils at 1st classes create a winter landscape with brown and white paint and using their fingers:

MARTIN CREED EXHIBITION

 

"I don't know what art is"

Martin Creed was born in  England.He studied art at the Slade School of Art at University College London from 1986 to 1990.

Since 1987 Creed has numbered each of his works, and most of his titles relate in a very direct way to the work's nature.

One of Creed's best known works is Work No. 200, half the air in a given space (1998), which is a room with enough inflated balloons in it for them to contain half the air in it. This is one of the important works we are going to watch in these days.

Creed formed a band, Owada, in 1994. In 1997 they released their first CD, Nothing. Here too there is a very direct relation between the song titles and the work itself: in songs like "1-2-3-4" the entire lyrics are contained in the title.

This is a video about a Martin Creed live session:

We have inspired by  our project A FOREST TO READ AND SAIL  and  by the International  Year of Forests. We created all kind of objects like necklaces, rings, earrings and pins.
