How can we make art without exposing chemicals?
We can try to use products to make something. Items that aren´t imported from far countries, so that we don´t have to use a lot energy to transport them. Comparism with other schools
We are going to compare our school to the Thijs school. We think that they did really well when they made a video of them working. And we say the endproduct. It´s really simple, but they made art with items thye didn´t need anymore. We made each something else. They also had an enquête.We think they did a great job. |
Green art
We are going to make different kind of things like plants made from materials that are saving energy. Most of us are going to use paper-maché. That's made from old newspaper who are already recycled. First we wanted to make the Starry night out of candy papers, but then everyone wanted to make somthing else so we did. Newspaper is made out of low grade paper. GO GREEN! Division tasks
Eva: ''I'll make a sculpture of a deer, it'll be made out of old newspaper (using the 'papier maché techique). And I´ll finish it of with some extra glue.'' Dion: "I'll make a birdhouse out of wood that otherwise would've been thrown away." Cecilia: "I'm the girl who edit this page. I'm also going to make a box. The box is going to be made out of newspaper and home made glue. At the end I want to put a plant in it, so you have a cute self made box for your plants." Senna: "I'm going to make a tree out of old, recycled news-paper, So I'm basically going to recycle a recycled thing. Double recycling! I'm making the tree with paper maché, and finally I'm going to paint it with waterpaint, because that's better for the nature than normal paint." |
Hi, I’m Eva. I’m 13 years old. When I’ll finish high school I want to go to an art university to study fine arts, that means you can develop in your own art style. I want to go there because making art and being creative is something I love to do and something I’ll do after I’ve done my homework. I also really like to take pictures of anything I’ll find interesting. Something I’ve been doing recently is coming up with poems or quotes, I really like to write about small things that catch my attention. I made a deer out of newspaper, with a ballooon as a base, and finished it off with self-made glue. The antlers are made from toiler paper and are also finished off with glue. The glue was made from products out of the grocery store. I used the same recipe as Cecilia, Sugar, water with some vinegar mixed into it, and flour. This deer is made on a piece of wood to hang it on a wall as piece of decoration. It was quite hard to stick everything together because the head is quite heavy.
I'm happy with the result because I work quite hard on it. |
Hi, my name is Dion. I’m 12 year old and the youngest of my class. After I’ve finished school I want to study rights. My dream is to go the University of Oxford, but that probably isn’t going to happen. After university I want to become a lawyer. My favourite sport is football. I play the game for the club called VV Pernis. My favourite football club is called Feyenoord. Feyenoord is the number 1 of the Eredivisie right now, that means that they will win the championship. So I made a birdhouse from wood or else it would've been thrown away. All you need is some wood and nails. I used the measurements: 2X 15cm by 25 cm 3X 15cm by 15cm 1X 10cm by 5.5 cm 1X 10cm by 5 cm Around 20 nails A hammer A coping saw How to do that? First make a vertical line from the middle to the top than measure 15cm on the long side make a straight line from the corners of the line on each side cut off the edges in the corner. Step 1. Get a piece of wood of 15cm by 25cm and cut them like te picture below the gray piece should get cut off. do this twice. Step 2. Hammer 2 pieces of wood in a 90 degrees angle Use the one that you made in step 1 and one of 15cm by 15cm do this twice. Step 3. Hammer the pieces that you made in step 1 together in a square. Step 4. Give the birdhouse a floor by hammering a piece of wood of 15 by 15 under it. Step 5. Now give the birdhouse a roof by first hammering the 10cm by 5.5cm block against one of the sides and hammer the 10cm by 5cm on the other side. Step 6. Now make a circle in the birdhouse using the coping saw. AND THAN IT'S DONE Now you can still do the last details like painting or sandpaper some stuff that sticks out or looks rough.Now hang them in the tree and hope some birds fly in. Results! |
My name is Senna. I’m 13 years old and I live together with my mother, my father and little brother in a house in Schiedam. My hobbies are drawing, reading and writing stories. My life goal is to: Become a vet, become an actress, become a tattooist, working in a frozen yoghurt shop or publish books. When I finish high school, I am going to make a trip around the world together with my best friend, if we are still friends then. When I come back from the trip, I want to go to university and study veterinary medicine (Life goal 1). If I can’t go to university I want to either do life goal 2 or 4 or 3 AND 5. I have big plans and I hope I can finish them. Tree out of paper maché and toothpicks:
I used: Glue Paper maché glue Newspapers Toothpicks First I glued the toothpicks together into a tree-shape. Then I maked the glue. To make that, you need to have glue powder that you can easily buy in a store like gamma (in the Netherlands) for example. You put a lot of water and some of the powder together and you mix. I grapped a few pieces newspapers and ripped them into strokes. Then I glued it together with the paper maché glue. I let it dry and finally I covered it in brown paint to make the tree look like a normal tree. And that is the end result. |
Hey, my name is Cecilia. I am the girl responsible for editing our page. I am 12 years old, soon I will be 13 years old. I live in Vlaardingen. My hobbies are drawing and playing tennis. I am not a very sportive person, but I do like to play tennis. I’m having fun with it. On some lazy days I would grab a piece of paper and draw something. Hoping I have some inspiration. When I am finished with high school I would want to go to university. Study very hard and I’m sure I will do my best. On university I want to study rights and become a lawyer. Hi there. I wanted to make a box for my plant. First I used a iron wire to make a good structure. Then I used some old newspaper to cover it up. To make the newspaper stay where I put it, I used glue for paper mache. I didn´t have it at home so I made it by myself. It was really easy to do. I mixed some sugar with water, flour and a little bit of vinegar. When I sticked everything together I painted the box with white paint. Because I was afraid that the box whould leak, I put a plastic bag in the box. The box was a little boring so I put some washi tape on it. At the end I had a self made box for my plants.
I put a lot of effort in this project and I hope it´s good enough. I just hoped that I started earlier.
