A fun activity to try when studying any artist is to
attempt to recreate their style. For children, it gives them a chance to expand
their creativity and shows to adults they understand why the artist´s
individual style is important.
On the way to buy the items we needed for our own
Gaudi project, the girls spotted a building they thought could be by Gaudi, and
even explained to me how it could be by Gaudi. “Look at how the windows are!”
Judit pointed out and Sara noticed the use of colour and mosaic and
likened it to Gaudi´s work. Then when we were looking at the various papers we
could use in the shop, it was the girls who discovered the paper modelled after
Gaudi´s work. I was both impressed and pleased – it shows just how much
they have learnt over the time of our short project.
Sara chooses a box and Judit choose a dinosaur – the
closest thing she could find to the famous Gaudi dragon, and a tie-in to their
next project. The girls covered the card in paint-glue, then teared off pieces
of the Gaudi-styled deco paper to recreate his famous mosaic style. The girls
really enjoyed this project, and we are all pleased with the finished pieces!
