Family Portraits

A while back, our 1st level students got to take part in a creative way of talking about their families.

First, they studied four paintings with images of men, women, boys and girls. Some of the pictures were very old and some were very modern. We spoke a lot about what we could see, the differences between the paintings, differences between then and our lives now and how the paintings made us feel.

Then came the surprise that they were going to become artists and draw their family portrait!

They had to listen to the instructions very carefully, first colouring their frame, cutting it out, drawing and colouring their family members and finally explaing in English who all the people were in their frame.

Below you can see a small selection of the many great paintings that the boys and girls of Guinardo, Del Mar and La Rosaleda did! Enjoy.
