HALLOWEEN 2019: PUMPKINS MADE OUT OF OLD BOOKS

We recycled old books to make Halloween pumpkins. Students also used wire, greenish fabric and acrylic paint to convey a much more realistic impression. We were very proud of our job, so we displayed them in our School  Library and other places of our school.

 

Welcome to a new school year 2016-17!

HALLOWEEN 2015

Halloween this year was a bit different in our high school.
1st of ESO Art students have done a Haunted Village full of ghosts. These family of ghosts had a wonderful mission: to encourage and lead all the students and staff at school  to the Library.
 But on their way they have many obstacles and traps. Finally the ghosts reached the Library thanks to the help of the footsteps and signs in the corridors and the stairs.
 Once there the could enjoy the reading of adventure and horror stories which were displayed on the tables and bookshelves.

Here you are some photos showing the amazing family of ghosts made of cloth soaked in a mixture of white glue and water. They look so real!

                                           
                                            This is the Haunted Village

                                            The ghosts are on their way to the library
