This week it was all about the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi.
Gaudi was known for his distinctive and funky style, his creations are like nothing you have ever seen! Here is a building he created:
Gaudi did a lot of mosaic work as well, which was the technique we got to take part in for our project this week.
Mrs. Roundy showed us a famous mosaic salamander that was created by Gaudi. It is known as "el drac" (the dragon) and is located in Barcelona, Spain.
The students then set to work in groups to create mosaic salamander posters. They each signed their name and worked so well together. One big part they needed to remember was to leave spaces in between the pieces of colored paper. The mosaic technique we were focusing on had spaces that set apart the pieces from touching. They turned out so great and are now proudly hanging in our classroom. They sure do brighten the place up.
