Escultures amb materials reciclats: un projecte inspirat en Georgia Dickie
Durant el segon trimestre, els alumnes de 4t de primària van treballa l’escultura d’una manera original i creativa dins l’assignatura de GEP. El projecte va estar inspirat en l’artista Georgia Dickie, una escultora nascuda l’any 1989 a Toronto (Canadà), que crea obres a partir d’objectes trobats que recull al seu estudi. Dickie és una artista reconeguda internacionalment: va rebre el Sobey Art Award l’any 2020 i el Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts Artist Prize el 2014.
Seguint el seu exemple, els nostres alumnes van portar a l’escola tota mena de materials reciclats. Per grups, van reflexionar sobre com podien transformar aquests elements en una estructura artística. Un cop decidit el disseny, cada grup va crear la seva pròpia obra, posant en pràctica la seva imaginació i habilitat manual. Finalment, van presentar en anglès les seves obres davant de tota la classe, explicant el procés i els materials utilitzats.
Aquest projecte va ser una gran oportunitat per descobrir que l’art pot sorgir de qualsevol objecte i que la creativitat no té límits quan treballem junts.
Sculptures with recycled materials: a project inspired by Georgia Dickie
During the second term the 4th grade students worked on sculpture in an original and creative way as part of the GEP subject. The project was inspired by the artist Georgia Dickie, a sculptor born in 1989 in Toronto (Canada), who creates works using found objects that she collects in her studio. Dickie is an internationally recognized artist: she was one of the winner of the Sobey Art Award in 2020 and received the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts Artist Prize in 2014.
Following her example, our students brought all kinds of recycled materials to school and, in groups, they thought about how they could transform these elements into an artistic structure. Once they had decided on a design, each group created their own artwork, putting their imagination and practical skills into action. Finally, they presented in English their works to the whole class, explaining their process and inspiration.
This project was a great opportunity to discover that art can emerge from any object, and creativity has no limits when we work together.
