• Histoire des Arts

  Norman Rockwell,  'New Kids in the Neighbourhood'

  Steve Greenberg,  'Obama wins'

  "Dans le cadre de l'Histoire des Arts, mis en place en janvier pour nous, nous avons travaillé autour de deux 'objets',
  la peinture de Norman Rockwell, 'New Kids in the Neighbourhood' et le dessin de Greenberg, 'Obama wins'.
  Ce choix s'est 'imposé' à moi car je travaillais justement sur 'the Civil Rights movement' avec mes élèves (voir le manuel de 3è, unit 4,
  'je rends compte de l'évolution des droits dans le passé'), les élèves ont adhéré au projet.
  Les séances spécialement dédiées à la préparation de l'épreuve orale pour le Brevet se sont déroulées en français, langue de l'épreuve
  mais cela n'a posé aucun problème de repasser à l'anglais.
  L'occasion de revoir le film 'Mississippi Burning' et de redécouvrir certains tableaux de Rockwell (the Problem we all live with, Southern Justice, Gossips etc. ) et d'échanger un mail avec Greenberg qui nous a expliqué la technique employée pour son dessin.

  And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong
  And 70 million never see it at all
  And 70 million haven't tasted snow"

  Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
  Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
  In colors on the snowy linen land..."
