Mona Lisa, also called Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, Italian La Gioconda, by Leonardo da Vinci, probably the world’s most famous painting. It was painted sometime between 1503 and 1519, when Leonardo was living in Florence, and it now hangs in the Louvre Museum (Paris),  where it remained an object of pilgrimage in the 21st century.

As explained in class, task 2.3 consists of designing your own "Mona Lisa" from her hands and head. Remember that you have to provide a background too. You can find more examples in Aula Virtual.

I can´t wait to see your work!!!

Roman mosaics are designs made from tiny coloured stones and broken pottery called tessera. They showed different scenes of history and everyday Roman life. The Greeks were the first to make mosaics and started by using pebbles, the Romans copied using stone.

This week our task will be the reproduction of a roman mosaic. Go to Aula Virtual to see the model you have to follow. 

This trimester is going to be quite interesting because we are going to go over the different periods of art history.

We will start from medieval times. Remember what we explained in class ? So, you will design an illuminated letter with the initial of your name.

I can´t wait to see your proposals !!

You can find more examples at Aula Virtual.

Winter is almos here. Some people hate it and some people love it. Every time we hear the word "winter" , we think about cold weather, rain, snow, Christmas... But if you were asked to describe it with one symbol, what woud it be? Most of us would probably think of a white, beautiful and icy snowflake, don´t you think?So, the last task of this trimester will be to draw wonderful snowflake. As usual, you can find the step-by-step tutorial in Aula Virtual. 

IMPORTANT: due to the end of the first trimester, drawing blocs will be collected next Monday (all projects must be included!!)
