Intercambio con Alemania

La Josef Schwarz Schule es una escuela alemana, internacional y bilingüe, que forma parte de la red PHORMS EDUCATION.

Gracias a la subvención Erasmus+, nuestros alumnos tuvieron la posibilidad de compartir clase con sus partners y realizar varias visitas culturales (Heidelberg, Museo Experimenta...).

Por otra parte, los alumnos de la escuela Josef Schwarz Schule que recibimos en junio eran estudiantes de arte muy interesados ​​en la arquitectura de Barcelona. Hicieron varias visitas culturales: Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Sitges y Museo del Cau Ferrat, etc.

Architecture Collage Project in Barcelona

For our Architecture Collage project in Barcelona, we had to take photos of buildings and make collages from them. First, we changed the photos to black and white and printed them out. Then we added pieces of newspaper to fill the white parts of the pictures. We used newspapers from Barcelona, and our exchange partners in Germany used German newspapers for their collages. I took photos of famous buildings like churches, cathedrals, other interesting and amazing buildings, and the Sagrada Familia. I tried to take pictures from different angles with my phone to show as many of the buildings as possible, without too much empty space or sky. My exchange partner took photos of Heidelberg Castle. He also made his pictures black and white and traced the white parts on tracing paper to prepare his collage. We had some technical problems and could not finish the digital part of the project. Because of this, we drew sketches of buildings we saw around us instead.

What I liked most about the buildings in Barcelona was how big they were but still had many small details and interesting design choices. The size and the art made the buildings special and beautiful. I learned from my exchange partner that the pillars in the Sagrada Familia stand for different parts of a family, like strength, support, and growth. This made me think that buildings are not just about how they look, but also about the stories and feelings they share. Working with my partner showed me that architecture is more than just buildings and connected to people and their culture, not just stone and concrete. This project helped me understand and enjoy architecture more.
