CENTENARY OF LUIS SEOANE'S BIRTH

LuisSeoane.JPG

Luis Seoane (1910-1979) was a lithographer and an artist. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 1, 1910, of Galician immigrants, he spent much of his childhood and youth in Galicia. He was educated in A Coruña. His first exhibition in New York took place in 1945 as one of the ten best artist in the world.

He was an expressionist artist and he had a lot of influence by Picasso, that's why we were working on one of his famous Portrait and these are our paints; establishing differences between cold and warm colours.


 
 

AFRICAN MASKS

 

At Art and Crafts classes we were investigating on  African Masks and we learned that the African tribal artist's training involves the knowledge of traditional carving techniques and how these apply to the social and religious objects he creates.

Now you can watch all the masks we create in clay:

  

 
   

RECYCLED PURSES

THESE ARE OUR PURSES:

 

How to make a Tetra Pak coin purse:

Tetra Pak or similar cartons are found all over the kitchen, from juice boxes to soup.

Instructions:

1) You'll need some tetra pak cartons. For this purse we used the tall 1 litre type.

Step two, cut off top and bottom and clean and fold

2) Cut off the top and bottom.

3) Clean thoroughly, then dry.

4) Neatly fold (concertina) the sides of the cartons inwards, so that the carton lies flat.

5) Decide which what side of the carton you'd like to me most visible and put that side on the table.

Steps seven (left) and after step 11 (right)

6) Fold the bottom of the carton towards the top, and the top towards the bottom, so that it has three (aproximately equal - but the top can be shorter) parts.

7) Cut down each of the four orginal corners from the top of the carton to the nearest (top) fold.

8) Cut away the top sides between the cuts you made in step 7.

9) Round the top of the flap on the external side of the carton.

Step 12, fold the purse

10) Cut the internal flap to about 1.5cm (half an inch) above the crease and diagonally cut from about 1cm along that edge to the nearest corner (on each side).

11) Fold the bottom of the carton to the middle

12) Make a hole in the middle of the top flap about 1cm from the edge. I used a hole-punch.

13) Put an elastic band or the top ol the tetra pak through the hole or through the elastic band and tighten.

14) Now, you can decorate it.

MANDALAS

  mandala  MANDALAS mandala

THE WORLD AROUND US

The word "mandala" comes from Sanskrit, meaning centre or circle. Designs may vary, but all mandalas have a centre and some form of symmetry, which means balance.

In addition to being beautiful works of art, mandalas often illustrate some basic mathematical principles. The mandalas you will make on this site will all be symmetrical. An object is symmetrical if you can draw a line or make a fold down its centre so that both halves match perfectly or form mirror images of each other. This line or fold is known as the line of symmetry.

These are  our Mandalas we made in our  Art and Crafts classes:


 

But you can make your mandala on line and you can send as a postcard
