Art is everywhere! Exploring art through design

In Arts, the students of 1st and 2nd ESO have developed an exciting project that has allowed them to delve into the History of Art and, at the same time, apply their knowledge of graphic design and composition.

The challenge consisted of creating informative posters about different artistic periods and plastic techniques. To do so, the students organised themselves into teams and chose an artistic movement (such as Renaissance, Baroque, Impressionism or Cubism) or a specific technique (watercolour, oil painting, collage, among others). From this choice, they began a research phase in which they gathered information on the most representative artists, the visual characteristics of each style and the tools used in each technique.

Once the research phase ended, it was time for creativity. The students designed their posters by applying principles of visual composition, typography and colour combination to achieve an attractive and harmonious result. To do so, they made preliminary sketches and used both manual and digital tools, reinforcing their graphic design skills.

The result was a gallery of posters full of colour, information and creativity, which were displayed in the school corridors for the whole school community to enjoy and learn from.

We look forward to seeing the next projects of these young artists and designers!
