INTERNATIONALLY LINKING ASB AND GALLERIES THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ART
"Turbinegeneration" is an international schools project connected to the annual commission that invites an artist to make a work of art specifically for Tate Modern's (UK) Turbine Hall. The project, led by the MACBA (the Barcelona Contemporary Art Museum) and the Tate Modern, enables schools around the world to explore cultural issues through the language of art.
Students in Ms. Lee's Art 9/10 and IB Visual Arts 11 classes vecently visited MACBA for a tour and hands-on workshop led by English artist, Howard Matthew. ASB is one of three schools in Spain participating in the "Turbinegeneration" international art project. Students are focusing on Contemporary Art through the project's theme, "Rites of Passage." They are creating artwork to share ideas through a variety of media in order to enhance their understanding of the world and will be sharing it electronically through a digital gallery exchange on the internet.
