I have appreciated that most of you despite all the videos and explanations struggle with conditionals. Study the structures and take note of your doubts because.......

We will have a short videoconference through a new platform for doubts  on FRIDAYS. (I will give you the link on friday post) If you don't have doubts there's no need for conection. But please, follow the rules.

1.-Enter with your name and the first letter of your TWO surnames. In my case: Marta MA

2.- You have to enter with your camera and microphone mute/off.

3.-Respect your turns. (If you have doubts and you can't connect at the time you are required, let me know through email to find a better time for those who can't. "Because it is too early", it is not an excuse)

4.- From 1 to 6 of each class 6ºA and 6ºB  10.30h
     From  7 to 12 of each class 6ºA and 6ºB  10.45h
     From 13 to 19 of each class  6ºA and 6ºB  11.00h
     From 20 to 24 of each class  6ºA and 6ºB  11.15h

Are you ready for the experiment???? All you need is...

MAKE YOUR OWN COMPASS

If you could do it, send me a small video of it working. If you couldn't send me an email with the reasons why you couldn't. You can do it, it is fun.

ARTS AND CRAFTS

Have you heard about the Art Challenge???

https://blogs.getty.edu/iris/getty-artworks-recreated-with-household-items-by-creative-geniuses-the-world-over/

 It is a good fun. The idea is to recreate a famous or no so famous painting with objects that you might have at home, dressing up, or any other idea you might have. Then take a photo of yourself and a photo of your Art Inspiration Painting and send both to me.

Instructions:

1. Find Great Art You Like

The only tools you need for this activity are your imagination and a picture of a work of art you like or find interesting. If you have a certain unusual item that you think would work well or a special outfit, hat, or even a melted clock —you can start by searching for that, too.

Many museums have great online collections with images available to download and use for free: try LACMA, The Met, Cleveland, Indianapolis, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Walters, or the National Gallery. Follow this link to find more: https://saposyprincesas.elmundo.es/consejos/educacion-en-casa/museos-para-visitar-desde-casa/

And of course, you could try a Google Image search for “painting [keyword],” “sculpture [keyword],” or whatever else you like. You might even try a reverse image search: upload an image of yourself or your object to Google Search and see what it thinks it looks like. (It’s often way off, but let that be part of the fun.) Always with your parents permission.

Pose 3 Objects, Pets, or People

Now that you’ve found your inspiration, pick the objects you’d like to use. Any objects are fine: from a blank piece of paper to your most elaborate hat. You can stick to 3 and see what you come up with, but you’re welcome to use as many as you like.

Here are a few tips:

Enlist a pet. Get your dogs, cats, bunnies, and even ferrets into the mix. Here’s an example of a furry companion pretending to be a fox, complete with her toy used as a prop, and here’s a very attentive pup bringing a classic composition into the iPod era. Bonus if you have an acrobatic cat.

Make a face, strike a pose. If you’re interested in re-creating a portrait or group scene, pay attention to the facial expressions—they really make it. Here’s an all-out scream and a sassy glance. If you’re reenacting a scene with multiple figures, pay attention to the poses. These high school art history students show how it’s done.

For a family activity, look for a domestic or dinner scene. For inspiration, 

Pay attention to lighting. Try to imagine where the light in the artwork is coming from, and orient your composition so a window or lamp is casting similar light onto the scene. In bright daylight, windows offer a blue-tinged light, while most lamps cast a warmer glow. 

Think abstractly. If you’re having trouble re-creating an artwork’s appearance, try focusing on shapes over colors. For example, did you know you can suggest the Venus de Milo, one of the greatest sculptures of ancient times, with a Boost bottle and a torn Subway receipt? 

Make it snackable. Edible art counts too. Why not make a Magritte on toast or even a pancake? Or how about a sculpture out of strawberry?

Photograph and Post

Use a smartphone camera or a digital camera to take a photo (if you’re posing, have a member of the household do it for you; if you live alone, use the front-facing camera on your smartphone, or the camera on your computer). You may want to do several and pick the best one. Then share with your family, teacher and friends the way you enjoy best!

Here are some examples. I will make mine too, but I will only post it when I have all yours. jijiji
