G.e.p
Project about arts & crafts
Marist’s
school in order to foster a second language is implementing new subjects that
are taught in English.
One of the
subjects that are taught in English is Arts & crafts. The entire class is
in English and all the guidelines are given in this language.
Besides
being a problem for kids it has been something motivating for them, since they
have never done something like that before.
Furthermore,
in order to have the teachers properly trained Marist’s school has decided to
train their teachers through the G.E.P program.
One of the
projects developed through this is the
Kandinsky for a day project. This project had been done taking as starting
point a unit of the Arts & Crafts subject that is the shapes.
Kandinsky
for a day project consists in motivating kids to be artists for a day. The
students had to create their own work of art. So they had to cut some different
shapes using papers of different colours and then once they have all the shapes
properly cut, they will work in small groups to work on their work of art.
Once all the
students have finished they will choose a name for their work of art. That is
something very motivating for them.
