Spread Joy not Germs-Photo Contest 2019/20


This year's theme was "Spread JOY not GERMS"

Take your cameras (or your phones) and snap some pictures around the house, maybe some interesting activities you do as a family, maybe a view from the window, light falling on a spot in your room, a detail you would normally not pay attention to, an unusual perspective of a common object... just start capturing moments at home and spread some JOY!


The selection of the wining photographs was made by the well established photographer Elena Bojadzieva, who is teaching photography at the University for Audiovisual Arts EFTA (IU Europa Prima) since 2011. She has received her BA of Photography at the National academy for theatre and film art - NATFIZ in Sofia, Bulgaria, school of Art and Applied Photography and her MA in film art in the field of production. Thank you Elena Bojadzieva for being the juror in our photo contest.

Recreate a famous artwork

Middle School and Secondary Students had an assignment to recreate a famous artwork. Some  even did it as an optional free time work! What is impressive is they used all kinds of materials they had available at home. Some used yarn as a replacement for paint, some used Lego and some students were there own models, and accepted the Getty Museum Challenge. Awesome creations!




Students accepting a color challenge


Fun way to learn about the color wheel. Distance learning can be fun.
