Enlargements by klicking the photos

The tenth graders and the 5th-6th graders created environmental art by making 'red indian trees' in the school yard. The following themes were discussed: - where does the term 'red indian' originate? - what images does it bring to mind? - what do we know of the history of red indians? Implementation of the project: - we gathered branches from the nearby forest, took off the leaves - the pupils greatly enjoyed this part! - old woollen threads of various colours were hung on the trees, the idea being to create a web-like structure around them. - laminated pictures and texts concerning red indians were fastened to the trees. - we agreed that when autumn turns into winter we will check the condition of the trees and if necessary, we will remove them. - finally, we chose a suitable place for them, near the path the pupils and staff use so that it would be easy for them to study the art.
