YES WE ART

This is a summary of the work done by six European schools from The Basque Country, Belgium, Hungary, Italy and Turkey on art as the main topic. The aim of this project is to make students aware of the different ways of communicating through art and how this art becomes part of our own heritage. We will provide children with the oportunity of exploring emblematic artists from the countries involved , and we will use various techniques to version and create art and to share it with others.

BASQUE SCHOOL´S CARNIVAL: SOMETHING TO DO WITH ART

2014 Carnival was closely related to art.We turned the school into a museum. In the morning we offered different shows: a rhymed version of Collodi´s Pinochio , a puppet performance called " Jimmy Potxolo eta zapataria" , a living sea with fish inspired by the Turkish artist Bedri Rahmi and a surrealistic fashion show inspired by René Magritte. In the afternoon, we inaugurated the art exhibition in the school corridor. The master piece was a 5, 17 version of Michelangelo´s David that was placed in the school´s hall

It is not a joke! ZUBIALDE school had the works the students created for the project exhibited in the Guggenheim museum of Bilbao.

ZUBIALDE was very lucky to take part in this programme and to link it to the objectives of  " Yes we art". Thanks to all the people that has made it possible and congratulatios to the students for their involvement and their work.

MIND MAPS- a way of expression

So far we have fused the art styles of two famous Basque artists ( Zumeta eta Oteiza). Now, we have started to join together the art expressions of Oteiza and a third artist- Ibon Aranberri- .
 When he considered he had learnt enough Oteiza gave up sculpting to start writing. He started to create another way of art by writing concepts, ideas and poems on a white page.
Students, young artists, are now creating a mind map about themselves, they are writing, drawing, colouring and gathering information to complete a graphic idea of what they are. This will be the first step. Then , they will build up a mind map about their own town. By doing this work, they will fuse the late Oteiza´s work with the global art of Ibon Aranberri.

SOME MORE WORK

After cutting, composing and decorating , here is another part of our work on art.

BASQUE WORK CONTINUES

In the pictures below, you can see the first steps of a long process.  The last step was to draw our sculptures from different views using perspective. Then we did something else with the profiles we drew. We marked and cut them out in a cardboard . The result is incredible! you must try! We are not little ZUMETAs anymore, now we have become OTEIZA followers,  but it is also fun!

WE ARE ARTISTS!!

  
We have started to create art with the help of Jorge Rubio, an artist from the Guggenheim museum.
So far we have worked on three different disciplines: painting, sculpture and drawing. Jorge told us about Zumeta, a famous and colourful Basque painter, and he helped us mix and contrast colours, to create our own work of art as if we were little Zumetas. Here you can see the different steps of a work that changes continuosly. First we painted an abstract; once we had our painting, we decided to experiment with it following the artistical concepts of another emblematic Basque artist called Oteiza. We gave volume to the painting and turned it into a base that would support a sculpture. Now, we had a sculpture to make. We used different shaped wooden sticks to design our sculptures. The final work was really nice!! Don´t ever think that we have finished working. We still have further steps to follow. After making the sculpture,we are drawing it from different views using the technique of perspective.

VISIT TO YALOVA
