Art Workshop with students from Zlatan Sremec

Valentine's day was a perfect day to learn the importance of showing kindness to others and how simple acts  can bring lots of joy. Our students from the 10 and 11 year old class during art class did an art workshop with the students from the school for special education Zlatan Sremec at the Children's Creative Center, in MKC  Skopje. It was truly magical!

Visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje

During art class, Secondary 1 students visited the Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje, to discover some unique art perspectives. It was amusing to hear the curator Bojana Janeva Shemova explaining some of the works from the collection, the current installation "Other Scale of Things", as well as the interactive, science fiction art by Nicoa Radulovikj that the students really enjoyed.

Middle School Peer Critique

We had a successful art critique session, where students paired in groups of two discussed about their works and talked what makes the artwork good and what can be improved. The goal of this teacher-free practice was for students to help each-other, to learn from one-another and to all benefit from the discussion. We followed the rule of being positive and stick to the TAG method-

Tell the artist something you like; Ask a question; Give the artist a suggestion

Preschool Art Class

Hands-on, processes oriented art projects. Preschoolers are awesome artists!

High School Art

High school students are using art class to improve their art skills and we enjoy our studio arrangement in class. Students are working at their own pace following their own interests. We started the year with a Sketchbook Unit and a Drawing Unit, so students are learning some drawing techniques and tips. We are using some exercises from the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", taking an approach that promotes visual thinking and growth of creativity. 

I'm really happy to see that all my high school students learned that drawing is a skill that will improve the more time you spend doing it, just like any other skill .
