Painting

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875 - 1911) was a Lithuanian painter and composer. He was born in Senoji Varėna, Lithuania. He was the oldest of nine children of his father, Konstantinas, and his mother, Adelė. Like many educated Lithuanians of the time, Čiurlionis's family spoke Polish, and he began learning Lithuanian only after meeting his fiancée in 1907. During his short life he composed about 400 pieces of music and created about 300 paintings. The majority of his paintings are housed in the M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania. His works have had a profound influence on modern Lithuanian culture. The one of my favourite paintings is this one. 

M. K. Čiurlionis. The Creation of the World. 1905 - 1906. 

This is his music. It is called In the Forest

I liked a lot the lesson. The nicest thing was that we could choose art from our country and present it for others. I would use this painting and this piece of music in art class. Children could take this painting as an example for their picture. I would let them to listen to this music and during that time they would draw flowers. I would give them some dried flowers and children would draw the borders of them. Then they can play with colours in their painting. I think children would know better Čiurlionis after an activity like that.

Goat-willow

 

That is a very nice plant and we had an activity with it. At the beginning we watched a short video how we can use this technique with children. For some of them is hard to draw. So, we use alternative to help them. First we place goat-willow on white paper, then we take coal and do borders around the plant. We had two colours of paint - pink and green. We used them for decorating drawing. I enjoyed this lesson and learned how to help children to be creative in art. I finished my drawing at home. I had fun. You can see the result. :)

I used more colours at home. :)

Clay Matthews (Molio Motiejukas)

Once up on a time there lived granddad and grandma. The days they spend were sad and lonely because they didn‘t have any children. Once the granddad took a piece of clay and moulded a small figure of boy.

He kept the figure of the boy in his hands; he palmed it and gave Matthew name to the figure. After he put a creature on a furnace and went to sleep. It seems like he put lots of love to create it because Matthew became alive during a night time and became as a sun to the granddad and grandma.

Grandparents were very happy having him and grandma was baking pancakes and cakes to him and Matthew was helping to them by working and defending them against the various enemies...

Here is a little puppetry theatre about “Clay Matthew“. It is in Lithuanian but you can understand what is happenings.

I liked the part of the lesson about clay. It was interesting to listen some history about I World War while doing some figures of clay and it was funny because we had to do it quickly. I made “Clay Matthew“ at home with clay teacher gave to as. Look at him :)

“Clay Matthew“

What is happiness?

We need to be happy for little things. Love it :)

Something about myself

          I would like to share that pictures because it was very nice day at home and we were tidying the garden. There was fire where we were burning fallen leaves. Smoke came out and as you can see my friend did a very nice picture of light with smoke. I hope you like as I do. :)

Impressions about first session

          I liked the games at the beginning of first session a lot. The games helped to feel more comfortable and relaxed. I would like to use them with children. 

          Then was very nice to listen about Maurice Maeterlinck and to know some more information about him. I liked a film “Blue bird“. 

          When I heard about “Slinkachu“ and “Belgian Solutions“ I was quite surprised because I never knew that there is this kind of art and I was impressed by that. I like it a lot. 

          Then we had maps and had to go and do some photos in groups. That was surprising as I never did this kind of work in past in studies. I was excited to find some interesting art in the street and I did find some funny things. Now I am looking carefully when I am in the street. I can find some art there. I never thought about that. Art in the street. Funny. :)

          At the end of the session we had to meet in very big cafe. That was mind blowing because it was completely new for me. I would never think about session in cafe. That was super.

          I want to say that the first session was very nice and I hope all of them will be nice to remember. :)

          

Two more for Belgian Solutions. :)

I am a bit confused. Where should I go?

Sorry. That is the end of the road. 

Barbabright

Barbabright is blue.

Barbabright is a scientist. Neither chemistry, astrophysics, nor genetics are a secret to him!

But sometimes his theories carry him too far and the consequences of his hazardous experiments can lead to catastrophic consequences! Happily, his brother Barbazoo, an ecologist, keeps close watch over his activities!
