What are the purposes of art?

Art is part of human life.   What makes some people are more sensitive and deeply feel the need of experiencing art, and others not?

 The purpose of art in our life is to make you feel something:  

 joy, sorrow, anger, longing, happiness and much, much more...

 The main purposes of art are:

• it gives a sense of belonging and community
• it helps to self-expression and self-awareness
• it's a source of entertainment and enjoyment
• it's an escape from reality
• it creates feelings of  wonder, and inspiration

Quote for today

Time to say goodbye

 After 5 fruitfull days it's time to evaluate learning activities. 

We all get new skills and coming back home with new experiences. 

We made friendships and we developed our creativity. 

Workshops with LEGO bricks showed us we are good team and we can built together strong partnership.

Bye, bye bautiful Prague. We will miss you all!

City game in Prague

 During the workshops Erasmus+ learners took part in the city game in the centre of Prague.

It was really creative way to learn more about local culture and modern Czech art.

We all did our best to match all the points of the game. It was not easy. 

International meeting in Prague

 Finally!

After almost 1,5 year of cooperation we could all meet together in Prague, Czech Republic, to have C1 and C2 learning activities.

Our first day was full of emotions... Who are we? Icebreaking session went really well.

We all are the same

It happens that in the modern world we do not all have  

the same rights.

Why it happens? 

We can all change it. Just start from ourselves.

 

How to start writing?

 Important rules for every writer:

• Think about what you want to write. 
• Each story has a beginning, a middle and the end. 
• Work on one thing until finished. 
• Use interesting verbs. 
• Give a reader at least one character he or she can identify with.
• Every sentence must do one of two things- reveal character or advance the action.
• Give your readers as much information as possible.
• Rewrite and edit until you find the best phrase.
• Think big!

What is ART FOR CHANGE for us...

 This poster was created by Polish participants during the IT workshops.

Let's start...

 Creative writing is a form of writing where creativity is at the forefront of its purpose through using imagination, creativity, and innovation in order to tell a story through strong written visuals with an emotional impact, like in poetry writing, short story writing, novel writing, and more.

There are only five main kinds of writing: expository, descriptive, persuasive, narrative, and journal or letter writing. Each writing genre has its own unique purpose and requires different skills.

Music for wellbeing

Music is an essential element in a culture created by man. We learn world through the music.

Music brings people together, sometimes helps to forget about pain and suffering, sometimes  expresses positive feelings and emotions. Bob Marler said: „One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”.

Music supports our wellbeing.

There are many positive aspects to listening to music:

·        reduces stress

·        reduces pain

·        expresses emotions and feelings

·        helps to remember

·        breaks down communication barriers

When we are aware of how music affects us we can start to intentionally use it to improve our wellbeing.

Think to create own playlists for different emotions and feelings.

Proposed playlists:

·        Happy music.

·        Energizing music.

·        Romantic music.

·        Nostalgic music.

·        Holiday music.

·        Relaxing music.

You can find your music to help you to experience different emotions.

„Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together” said Edgar Winter, and we can assure you this is true.
