VIEWS OF LISBON

The integration of art into the curriculum is crucial to creating well-rounded, well-prepared learners and leaders. Art experiences boost critical thinking, teaching students to take the time to be careful and thorough in how they observe the world.  Here at BSL we weave art into our thematic curriculum as well as teaching specific skills. 

Inspired by the wonderful views in and around Lisbon, our Year 5 students took photographs as the starting point for their artwork. They then experimented with blending pastels to recreate the scenes. Their artwork reflects the diverse nature of Lisbon - historic architecture, winding streets and the proximity of the City to the River Tagus and coastline.
