Our project is an art related project. We want our pupils to learn about famous artists and musician, inspire from them and improve their creativity and self confidence. They will be free to choose their artists or musicians and do some research about them. They will prepare presentations and learn about their life. They will choose one or more works from them and try to recreate / imitate or make them alive by taking photos. We will let them to choose their work on their own and help them when they need. We also use English for the project's language and they will improve their English skills. We assign them to write on our project e-book and take responsibility. At the end of our project we will arrange an exhibition and maybe a small concert.
With our project, we want our students to gain self confidence and be more responsible. They will learn more about world culture of art. They will find their inspiration and gain different perspectives. They will not be judged by their drawing abilities and be more confident. They will improve their English skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) and art talents. They will learn more about e-safety, digital citizenship and web2.0 tools. They will learn how to use technology in education. They will also make new friends from different cities and countries. We will evaluate how much we achieve our goals using surveys.
We used e mail and whatsapp for the first communication. We talked and planned everything together. We will work from October to June.
October : Students and teachers will introduce themselves, schools, cities, countries and school teams. They will use different web 2.0 tools.
From November to April: Teachers will decide the artists and musicians in October using webinar or messages. Two artists and two musicians will be chosen for each month. Students choose one of them and work on it every month. They will be free to choose how many people they will choose and what kind of activities they will do. At the end is the month they will upload their activities on our e-book regularly.
