There are several concepts in the activity. The sub-topics are reproduction paintings, charcoal and oil paintings, "Ebru" art, and recycling and reusing the materials, which are also the main topics of our envionmental project.

Students tried to reproduce some famous works of art.

They tried the techniques of charcoal. There are really creative works.

There are very creative work of Ebru Art, as well. (learn more about Ebru)

There are also various oil paints. The following was made by a student who was given a postcard bought from Venice.

As the Project Team, what we are more interested in are the recycling and reusing topics. Here are some samples of the works made with the recycled or reused objects or materials.

These are the party masks made with the used papers . The papers are  wet  and then kneaded. It undergoes some other processes and then colored and shaped as desired.

A fish figure made from a broken mirror.

The following are all made from the papers of old magazines or newspapers. The technique is called "collage" (kolaj). 

 

The following is one of the most striking work of the topic. All of the pieces you can see are just the pieces of plastic bottles. They are cut and then colored as desired. Then they are brought together to picture a figure or a scene. Isn't it a vivid product?

We hope to see such good work the next year again. 

Conguratulations to all our artist students!

We Are Preparing For the Meeting in Iasi, Romania

Our meeting in Iasi, Romania will be held on 21th-25th May. Now, we are preparing for this meeting. We are still studying on the green plan to make it perfect and effective. We have got the meeting programme and the contact information of the host students. The e-mailing traffic has already started.

We are 2 English language teachers and 6 students in our team. It is the first time for the students to go abroad and this is expected to be a great chance for them to make new friends, to meet new cultures and to practice English language. They seem very excited!

It's been told that Iasi is a mountainous area where you need warm clothes at this time of the year. So, we need to take jackets, coats or even boots! Anyway, It seems we'll have great fun!. Here is the meeting programme.

We are first flying to Istanbul from Mardin and by midnight we will have been in Bucharest. We will stay there one night and on Sunday evening we are flying to Iasi. We will work on the project activities; we will see new people and places and we will hold the closing session of the whole project. It will be a little sad for us as this will be the last formal meeting of the project. On Friday, we are going to get to Bucharest back and spend the Friday there. On Saturday evening, we hope to be back at home.

It is time to prepare the luggage!
