FIRST YEAR VISITED THE ERRÁZURIZ PALACE

On May 7^th the First Year students visited the Errázuriz Palace and they were able to explore and discover Beautiful Buenos Aires between 1920 and 1930 through architecture, transportation, clothing, art and entertainment. The visit to the Errázuriz Palace showed the students how a very rich family lived in those days.

Having fun with the arts!!!

 En el mes de mayo,  en el área de Inglés, realizaremos visitas relacionadas con la historia y el arte.

 Nuestra primera visita será con 1er  y 3er año al Palacio Errázuriz. Allí nuestros alumnos explorarán nuestra bella Buenos Aires en los años 1920 a 1930 a través de una mirada a su arquitectura , medios de transporte, arte, estilo de vestimenta y entretenimientos.

 2do año, visitará el Museo de Bellas Artes, el cual siempre nos cautiva con increíbles obras de arte, en este caso verán como a través de las épocas, los artistas interpretaron un tema muy popular que era el de las bañistas… The Bathers. Comenzaremos con Diana, de Lefebvre, con su estilo neoclásico, continuaremos con la Ninfa Sorprendida de Manet, que es casi clásica y casi impresionista (obra de transición), seguimos con la bañista de Gauguin, que es neo impresionista y terminamos el recorrido con las Bailarinas de Degas, entre impresionista y neoimpresionista.

 We hope all our students enjoy this experience !!!

OUR VISIT TO LA RECOLETA NEIGHBOURHOOD

To understand our complex present, it is sometimes necessary to have a look at the past. Hence, bearing this moto in mind, we had the pleasure of leading our 3rd year students to a wonderfully guided visit of our Recoleta Cemetery on October 3^rd. Indeed, Mrs Victoria, our guide...led the way through one of the sites which best summerize both tradition and culture, alliances and antagonisms, present and past. Thus, our students had the opportunity to appreciate in the mausoleums and monuments not only part of our rich history as a country but also its architectural treasures.

BELLAS ARTES MUSEUM

Some weeks ago, 1st and 2nd year visited Bellas Artes. The students saw the impressionist and baroque galleries and learnt a lot of details about some famous paintings and their authors. They did some research work on the topics before and after their visit to the museum.
 They really enjoyed the experience and had a good time!!
