Collage

This week we made a collage using recicled papers.
The theme was based on Beatriz Milhaze's work.

Milhazes is known for her work juxtaposing Brazilian cultural imagery and references to western Modernist painting.
The daughter of a lawyer and an art historian, Milhazes was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1960.

Joan Miró

Joan Miró

Joan Miró i Ferrà  (April 20,1893 – December 25,1983) was a world renowned Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramist who was born in the sea port city of Barcelona.

Miro was the son of a watchmaking father and a goldsmith mother, he was exposed to the arts from a very young age. There have been some drawings recovered by Miro dating to 1901, when he was only 8 years old. Miro enrolled at the School of Industrial and Fine Arts in Barcelona until 1910; during his attendance he was taught by Modest Urgell and Josep Pascó.

After overcoming a serious bout of typhoid fever in 1911, Miro decided to devote his life entirely to painting by attending the school of art taught by Francesc Galí. He studied at La Lonja School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and in 1918 set up his first individual exhibition in the Dalmau Galleries, in the same city. His works before 1920 (the date of his first trip to Paris) reflect the influence of different trends, like the pure and brilliant colors used in Fauvism, shapes taken from cubism, influences from folkloric Catalan art and Roman frescos from the churches.

Happy children's Day

Quanta sorte a minha

poder ver esse sorriso doce

receber esses abraços sinceros todos os dias

Quanta sorte a minha

poder ouvir "senti sua falta" quando não pude ir ao trabalho

Quanta sorte a minha

poder contar qualquer história

e ver aqueles olhos abertos cheios de curiosidade e poder deixar aquele momento gravado na memória

Quanta sorte a minha

poder educar, dar conselhos, ajudar a resolver problemas, incentivar e confortá-los quando precisam

Quanta sorte a minha

Acordar cedo e não ficar o dia todo num computador com um chefe chato cobrando relatórios rsrss

Quanta sorte a minha poder estar com essas crianças, e fazer do meu dia, um dia muito mais alegre e divertido.

Eu amo minhas crianças!

Eu amo ser professora!

Eu tenho um sonho de um dia todas as crianças poderem ter uma família digna e poderem ir a escola todos os dias!!
