17th April !

 

 

We started doing some workshops. Joining the knowledge with the beauty of Park Guëll.

The workshops were divided in 6 stations so that we could be divided in 6 groups of 6 peoples.

The first workshop was Create a story. We receive a word like cigarette, candles, mother … We must follow a person in the park and invent a story to his/her person with the word we receive. We put all story together like a metro line.

The second was Hide and seek. We were in columns below the big bench. And we made a hide and seek in the columns. After that, we observed the mosaic in the ceiling. We noticed that mosaics represent much the nature with the colors, the shapes …

 

 

 

 

    

 

The tirth station  was called seated in mosaics. First, we have to ask different people to write a word about Park Guëll on a piece of paper. We had to have 15 words. After that, we selected 10 words with which we invented a story about the Park Guëll. This story, we have read aloud to people we hear.

An example: We’re here in Park Guell, who is big and amazing. There are a lot of mosaic which is very beautiful and colorful. We think it’s a spectacular and unic place where there are a lot of tourists. We think it’s a special place to be observing and it’s surrounded by palm trees.

At the fourth workshop,  we were proposed to do an human sculpture , every group of 6 were divided in two groups,  each group decided what kind of sculpture the other group have to do. The second part of the workshop was the creation in the ground of a hopscotch inspired in the shapes we saw.

Domino shapes and domino sounds were the names of the fifth workshop that consisted in the observation of the surroundings and exploring the visual sense. Once we made a game of 4 persons each person would tell a word of what they see and the other should never repeat it, the other part of the workshop was creating a memory game with some stuff we could find in the ground.

 

In a sunny day the all group went to the beautiful Park Guëll of Gaudi.

To finish the morning at Park Guëll nicely, the last workshop was in the crosses that are at the top of the park and have a beautiful landscape.

The firsts groups who passed there had the task of draw the landscape, the second ones the opportunity of doing a map in they own style and for the last groups who passed at the sixth workshop the point was to do the interpretation of the drawing and the maps of the other ones.
