“Getting to know an artist” was the 5.2
official activity of our project “Artemotion Xpress in Europe”. Two school
classes worked on this activity with their teachers. The aim was to get to know
an artist and his/her work and then meet in real life! The excitement of the
pupils was huge!
At first, teachers and pupils decided to work
on a local artist, painter and writer, Ms Olga Chanouza. They searched the
internet to find information about her biography and paintings. They prepared a
short P.P. presentation on her artistic work. They analyzed her paintings and
worked on Language lesson on a poem called “You are my strength” and even made
paintings according to the meaning of the poem.
In a predetermined time, Ms Chanouza visited
our school. Pupils presented their preliminary work and all together analyzed
her paintings and poem. Later, Ms Chanouza presented to all some of her new
paintings and children expressed what they saw and how they felt.
Lastly, all together we painted as our minds
and hearts were full of colors, imagination, enthusiasm and a great desire to
paint along with the artist.

This was one of the most favorite activities of the children. It was the first time that pupils interacted with an artist for such a long time, they got to know about the painters life, what drives her to paint and this was even more interesting for the kids! At the end, when the artist and pupils all painted together was truly a remarkable moment.
