 Portofino´s Dream. Oil on canvas, 1996 (now private collection).

In this project  different groups of students had to come up with a horror story. After writing a plot, they had to find the best graphic way to advertise their story.
First, students did some figure studies, then they practised how to use text effectively (perspective and projected text). Finally they elaborated their poster.

 the teacher´s example.

Mexican Art and Shrines

This was a long project: its aim was to study the repetition of patterns and the lines that were forming them. First we looked at patterns in Mexican Art and we studied how patterns are  repeated in icons, mask and other objects. Then we got the student to pose for the big posters.
The project evolved into thinking of an object / person dear or important to each student... something personal, little, to turn into something big, like an idol. Finally each student developed a 3-D piece, shrine, and decorated it with repetitive patterns.

 

 

Falla March 2010

Falla  March 2010
Elena Garchitorena and Sarah Nesti Willard at Iale School, March 2010.

The Falles  is a traditional celebration held in commemoration of Saint Joseph in the city of Valencia, in Spain. Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners. On March 19 the Fallas are eventually burned throughout the night.
The Falla was in display for the whole school and was burnt in the afternoon.
