Hi hello
I hope that you all have a wonderfull weekend.
I have just started to consider what i will be preparing with my children in regards to contact with other schools.
Next year i would like to organize an art project with schools from around Europe with the theme Culture understanding avoiding conflict
The topic might be peace traditions or some thing else,the project would involve schools painting designing a poster of exsprestion.Each school that participated would in turn receive the collection of posters to have an exhabition with in there school to raise funds for the school or a charity of there choosing.
Do you think that any of your children �classes would be interested.
Some ideas of the lay out plan are as follows and the difference from the American idea is that all participants will be able to hold an exhibition if they choose to.
European youth Murals would illustrate students unique cultures and communities or concepts they believe represent friendship or peace. Murals might include flags,landscapes,landmarks,notable citezens-leaders,festivals,holidays,holydays,and native cuisines,clothing,or proverbs. Students might choose to predict their schools, homes or them selves.
Students have no limit as far as imaginations.
Who might participate
Students aged 4-19
Number
A class, group may submit a maximum of two murals.
Exhibits
The line of exhibitions would start with this school Elizabeth in Catalonia Spain and then move on to the next nearest school.
Murals would be exhibited at galleries chosen by the participating schools.
All schools that participate would have the option of displaying the murals within their chosen gallery or school They might choose to charge an entrance fee or have a donation box at a point in the exhibition and choose a charity or use the funds to help with school materials or postage fees.
The participating schools would have the responsibility of forwarding the murals on to the next participating school.
Awards and Recognition
Approximately four murals would be selected to receive awards according to three categories:
Primary, middle and secondary-school.
Winning schools-groups would receive a small prize and all participating schools would receive a certificate of appreciation for their participation.
Regards
Teacher Nick
