WHAT MAKES US, US PROJECT- CONDUCTED BY THE ARTIST ANNIE RIGAS

Art, history, social studies – IB-PYP unit: “how we express ourselves” . School: DES Primary School Country: Greece

6-11 years group of 250 students duration: 2 weeks

CONTENT OF ACTIVITY

The project was conducted by the Artist Annie Rigas.

Children were introduced to the different clothing over the centuries. The clothes we preferred defined our identity, the general political, economical and social status of people in certain ages. Pupils explored the definition of beauty through times and felt the textiles.

Children created their own models using textiles, colors and fashion trends of the time they explored. The outcome was a physical and virtual museum of exhibits for every period of time. The project was conducted by the Artist Annie Rigas. She guided students over the information and the making of the dolls-models.

ANNIE RIGA is a visual artist and educator based around Europe. She completed her BA in Fine Art at Falmouth University in the UK and then completed her master’s degree at St. Joost Academy in the Netherlands. Annie has previously run after school workshops and weekly art classes at DES school and other institutions.
