Home is where the art is

Greetings, world citizens!

Have you ever thought about helping your community? If not, that’s the time!

In these learning situations, and from a service-learning approach, you are going to think of ways of making a positive impact on the world around you as well as master your English skills through engaging and interactive activities.

In this learning adventure, you are going to organise a local art exhibition to showcase your own artworks. You will learn how to give your opinion and describe different works of art in your town, find out about some of the most important museums worldwide, write a bio of some of the most iconic artists, as well as describe amazing works of art. In your final mission, you will be able to share your own works and transform your community through art. 

You will also study the past simple, past continuous, and past perfect, the use of quantifiers, and vocabulary about art, art environments, as well as phrases for giving directions and locating places. 

Along your project, you will be proposed to three missions and a final challenge. You will work individually, but you will also have pair and group work.

Try to do your best and enjoy your learning process!
