Our graffiti virtual wall

Graffiti has been around for decades around the world. It has been a way of expressing ideas, feelings and emotions in a unique way, both in words and images. 

Let's create a gallery of graffiti! What would you like to express with your own graffiti? How would you like to make it, with images, words or a combination of both? 

Make your graffiti and then write a comment about it: What message would you like to give with it?

Project: Music for the World, the artists and their contribution

Congratulations for your Projects!  Through them you have reflected on how music can be very inspiring as an art for other musicians and to help others in many ways; lyrics can help raise awareness on many important social and individual matters and it can be a way to help positive change in our lives.

I’m very happy to share your work here:

Billie Joe Armstrong, by Zoe Macaya and Plácido Meneses

Duki, by Lucas Massih

Camila Cabello, by Micaela Olguín

Carol G, by Valeria Tello Ocampo

Snoop Dogg, by Agustina Gallo, Magalí Nievas and Benjamín Vera

Our graffiti virtual gallery 2019

Congratulations for your Project! I’m very happy to share your graffiti and messages here, in our virtual gallery.

I hope you continue making more Art in your lives either you do it as a profession or as a hobby just for yourself.

There’s one definition of Art which says Art is emotion. This is my sister’s favourite definition, she’s a Teacher of Art and since she commented me about it a long time ago, I have felt it’s one of the simplest but at the same time one of the deepest definitions of Art one can think of, don’t you agree? It makes me think of this beautiful graffiti which shows Cobre’s child when he looks at his father while he is making a graffiti.

Project: Music for the World

Welcome to the Project!
We all like music, Can you live without it? I can’t! What about you?  What kind of music do you like? Do you have a favourite singer or band? What do you think about this phrase?

Leave your opinions in your comments.

Graffiti Project

Welcome to our Visual Arts Project! This year you are going to create a virtual gallery of graffiti.

But before you start, what do you think about graffiti? Is it art or vandalism? Write your opinions in the comments.

Then look at the graffiti by these artists and choose one you like; pay attention to the style, what techniques do they use? What are their predominant colours?, what do the colours transmit? What message do the graffiti express?

Project Nice experiences in our lives

Congratulations dear students for your work!                    

Thank you for sharing such treasured memories for you.


I’m very happy to publish your Padlet here. I hope you collect more beautiful memories in your life.

Mini Project: A grammar poster: Talking about nice experiences in our lives

In pairs, choose an experience in your life and make a conversation about it. Remember what you learnt in the flipped grammar video about the Present Perfect and Past Simple for experiences. You will read them aloud in class and you will prepare them in digital format in Padlet.

You can use this Padlet to practice using the digital tool. Here are the instructions for the digital
    presentation:

Then, in class next week, I am going to guide you so one of you can create a Padlet and share it with me as and the class. When the Padlet is ready with all your conversations and images, I'll publish it in our blog.

Are you ready to start? Great!

Flipped Grammar Video: Present Perfect and Past Simple for experiences

Welcome to our flipped grammar video!

We're going to revise one of the uses of the Present Perfect.

Click here to see the video, follow the instructions and do the activity while you watch.

Our next activity will be a grammar poster in Padlet to put these concepts into practice.

My Personal Introduction

Personal Introduction

Hello, my name is Laura, I´m 17 years old and I’m from La Plata. I was born the 1st of January of 2000 in the night, that day my mum was celebrating New Year with my family. I live in Los Hornos with my family and my pets. I’m two years older than my sister and I’m in my last year of school. Next year I’m supposed to be studying at university, but I really don’t know what I am going to be studying.

I play the piano since I was 11 years old. Two years ago from now I got into the Conservatory of Music Gilardo Gilardi, and now my life is totally dedicated to that, basically, besides school. I play classical music like Bach, Schumann, and others. I also love playing songs from films like Titanic, Untouchables, A Dog’s Tale and Twilight. One of my favourite composers is Ludovico Einaudi. He’s a composer and pianist from Italy and he has worked a lot since the 80’s. My favourite song is “Una Mattina” but I also love “Nuvole Bianche”.

Here you can hear him:

I love watching films. I almost like all types of films (I don’t like the horror ones), from the drama ones to the most silly comedies. My favourites are the cartoons and the sad ones. The last one that I saw at the cinema was Beauty and the Beast, and I really liked it. I also love watching series, maybe more than films, I don’t know. Last month I finished watching Thirteen Reasons Why and I loved it.

My personal introduction

My personal introduction

   Hi!! I’m Lucía, I’m seventeen years old and I’m from La Plata, Buenos Aires. My pets are a dog, a turtle and a fish.

   I like painting and drawing and, my favourite painting is “Starry Night” of Vincent Van Gogh, but I don’t think about studying something linked with this next year.
   I’m deciding what career to study because I love neurosciences but I don’t know if Medicine is my profession. It’s a really hard decision, but I feel that I’m going to study Medicine.
   Also, I like reading books (novels specially), and the last I read was “Thirteen Reasons Why”. Now there is a series but is very different to the book. I’m angry for that. If you want to see it, you can do it in:
13 Reasons Why

   I’ve always been a nerd, What I can do? I can’t change.
   In my free time I go to gym and cook. Yes, I know, is a rare fusion.
   Like everybody, I love singing in the shower but my voice is so peculiar to be listened by people.
     
   I talk so much, it’s impossible to stop me, including when I was in the kindergarten, my teacher sent a note for my parents saying my bad behaviour at the class because I always talk with everybody.

Personal Introduction

Hi, My name is Delfina. I am seventeen years old. I am an only child and living with my Mom in a flat in La Plata city. I am attending my last year of High School at Colegio Mac Kay. I still do not know what I am going to study at University. I am in between Law School and Psychology, but I am sure that the career that I will choose will not be related to Maths because I hate them.

I have two adorable pets: a cute and crazy kitten called Angie -like the Rolling Stone´s song-  and a little dog called Bruno that is older than Angie but smaller in size (he is a mini-toy caniche). Each afternoon, I love to take a nap with both of them.

In my free time, I enjoy watching TV series on Netflix. Now I became addicted to "Friends".

I really like walking down the streets of my beautiful city, especially in Autumn enjoying the different colours of the trees.
