School stories

The month of the Francophonie, March, is behind us, and International School students didn鈥檛 miss the opportunity to mark it. On 28 and 30 March Year 11 French language students, together with their teacher, Ms Marija Pani膰, celebrated French culture by participating in a school project on French 19th-century art. The lessons caught the attention of the students who have Spanish and German as the second languages and joined their classmates.

The students investigated and presented the results of their research on French 19th-century art. It all resulted in getting to know more about French romanticism (Eug猫ne Delacroix, presented by Mia Aleksi膰), impressionism (Claude Monet, presented by Teodora Beatovi膰 and Isidora 艩u拧ovi膰; Auguste Renoir, presented by Viktor Bo啪in), as well as about post-impressionism and its influence on cubism (Paul C茅zanne, presented by Tyler Vuk Fidelak).

Together with their French teacher, the students shared their impressions of the paintings and the main characteristics  of that period of art, as well the link between artistic expression, science and technological innovation of that epoch.
