Dear parents and children, with this last activity we will close what we learned in the period. 

It is a closing activity that not only involves the manual skills learned by the kids, it also involves a reflection that I consider important at the moment: To understand the value that we must give to our environment, being more aware of all the waste we produce.

• It is for you to develop it during your vacation period, you have til 20th april 2020

Face shaped painted plastic Bottle Planters

With these activity we will turn a plastic softener, laundry soap or milk bottle into a beautiful planter for your balcony/garden/house 

Materials needed:

• Plastic softener, laundry soap or milk plastic bottle (2L recommended)
• Permanent Markers with different colours
• Scissors or a knife (be careful with this, ask your parents for help)
• Potting soil (when the quarantine ended)
• Plants of your choice

Step 1
To make a nice looking bottle planter you should first clean the bottle. 

Step 2
After this you should cut the bottom of the bottle with a knife or big scissors (be careful, ask your dad or mom to help you with this step)

Step 3
When you finished this steps, you can start painting your bottle with the markers. It would be better to use the handle of the bottle as the nose of the face. then you can draw the eyes and the lips with different patterns and motifs.

Step 4
When you finished with the painting part, you can put small amount of rocks or a piece of newspaper into the bottle, which will provide with a nice working drainage
after all those pretty steps you can putsome potting soiland you choosen plants.

Here you got some examples

Hello Kids

Welcome back to your virtual art class

Date: 22th May 2020

Today we are going to do an activity in the framework of the Afro-Colombian Week, we will understand the context of art history and we will develop our own African masks.

You only need:

• Cardboard (recycled, of course)
• Primary colours paint (blue, red, yellow, black and white)
• Scissors 
• Glue
• Toilet paper or paper towels
• A bowl to mix the glue and water
• Paint brushes

Here you got the step by step for the development

1)Draw a sketch of the future product

2)Transfer it to the cardboard piece by piece, to later cut them out

3)Now glue the parts together

4) Glue a bow to the back of the cardboard

5) Add a layer of toilet paper or kitchen towel with water glue to the mask (back and front)

6) Decorate it! you can use bits of pencil that you don't use, old necklace beads, coins, your imagination is the limit

7) We paint a base in black

8)Using a dry, hard brush, apply a brown color (mix yellow, blue and red to get the brown color)

9)In the final stage, lightly paint the mask with a beige color scheme. (mix white with a little yellow)

Here you got another example, for a female mask
