Short description of how the Project has been
carried out
|
Our project isn’t a real collaborative project, but it gives the
bases for such project in the fields of art.
1) How work has been organized either in class and at
home (i.e. individually/in pair/ in small groups/all class)
The work was done at school. Teachers gathered groups of
students – different age groups and they discussed the topic of
the gallery for the certain year. They decided on their main
topic and the tools to be used. Then the students started
creating their artworks. After they have finished them they
together evaluated them and selected 7 best works. They were
taught how to select them – criterion. Teachers send the chosen
artworks to our address and they were published in our
e-gallery. At the end of the school year all the works were
printed and exhibited in the Solkan Art Galley and the 5 best
artworks were announced and awarded.
2) How the work has been shared among children
Children shared their work in their classrooms and on the net,
by giving their appreciation for the artworks. In some cases
they even wrote articles about them to give their opinion about
the other students’ creation. Partner schools organised it their
own way.
3) How resources have been used/managed
As this project isn’t meant to be funded we didn’t think about
this topic. |
