Hi class!

Here we are in the Art Week 2017! This year’s topic is FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. The highest levels at our school, 3rd and 4th ESO, will be working on Science Fiction, and within the English subject you will be asked to make a PLANET from papier maché and talk about the colour of your planet. Here you have a few directions so that you can accomplish the goal.

  1. Watch a video on how to make a planet from papier maché.

2. Study the dossier below and decide which colour is your planet going to symbolize.
