ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄ Π. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 2 Eπειδή κάθε χρόνο σκέφτομαι ξανά τις προτεραιότητες του κάθε γονιού αλλά και το πώς θέλουμε εμείς να δου- λεύουμε. Να συνεργαζόμαστε δηλαδή με ανθρώπους με τους οποίους μοιραζόμαστε το ίδιο όραμα για μια δια- φορετική εκπαίδευση. Που δίνουν σημασία στο \"πώς\" θα μάθει το παιδί τους κι όχι μόνο στο \"τι\". γιατί θα σε εμπιστευτεί για αυτό που πρεσβεύ- εις κι όχι γιατί είσαι φτηνός ή ακριβός αλλά γιατί η επιλογή του ήταν θέμα κριτικής σκέψης κι όχι απλά τύχης. Γιατί στον δρόμο για την γνώση τα μεγέθη δεν είναι οικονομικά. Σίγουρα η προετοιμασία τέτοιων μαθημάτων που γίνονται στο Κέντρο μας απαιτεί κόπο και χρόνο, αλλά για εμάς η μάθηση είναι εμπειρία, οτιδήποτε άλλο είναι απλά πληροφορία! Multiple ways to teach one structure! Μέσα από διαφορετικές μεθόδους, κατάλληλες για όλους τους μαθησια- κούς τύπους κάναμε εξάσκηση το ρήμα have got με την a junior!!! Όταν ξεφεύγεις από τα όρια του βιβλίου, μέσω της βιωματικής μάθησης, γίνεται κατάκτηση η γνώση! Για να ξεκινήσουμε από την ουσία: μαθαίνω τη γλώσσα. Και τη μαθαίνω με όσο πιο φυσικό τρόπο γίνεται. Τη μαθαίνω για να είμαι αυτός που είμαι και στην ξένη γλώσσα. Τη μαθαίνω μέσα από έκθεση σε αυθεντικό υλικό, σε αυθεντικό λόγο. Αν μπορώ, ταξιδεύω. Αν μπορώ, μιλώ με ανθρώπους από όλον τον κόσμο στην ξένη γλώσσα. Αν δεν μπορώ, βλέπω ταινίες, σειρές, ακούω μουσική. Φυσικά, πηγαίνω σε σχολείο ξένων γλωσσών όπου ‘δεν κλίνουμε το ρήμα ‘to be’, αλλά μιλάω, επικοινωνώ, σκέφτομαι, υπάρχω στην ξένη γλώσσα. Δίνω εξετάσεις; Ναι! Αλλά δίνω ΕΠΕΙΔΗ έμαθα τη γλώσσα, όχι ΓΙΑ ΝΑ τη μάθω. Οι εξετάσεις μπορούν να λειτουρ- γήσουν ως κίνητρο, να γίνουν μια ευκαιρία για επανάληψη, για συγκέντρωση, είναι και μια επιβράβευση. Οι εξε- τάσεις μπορούν να λειτουργήσουν ως ένας προσωπικός χάρτης της γλωσσικής σου ανάπτυξης, κι αυτό μπορεί να σου δώσει αίσθηση επιτεύγματος. Τώρα, ποιες εξετάσεις και για ποιο πιστοποιητικό; Αν ξέρεις τη γλώσσα, προτι- μάς αυτές με τη μεγαλύτερη αναγνώριση στην αγορά εργασίας. Και τέλος πάντων, αν ξέρεις τη γλώσσα, δίνεις ανά πάσα στιγμή για την πιστοποίηση που θα σου ζητηθεί για τις σπουδές σου ή για τη δουλειά σου. Αν δεν την ξέρεις, πας για τις πιο εύκολες. Αλλά μην ξεχαστείς: επειδή πήρες το τάδε πιστοποιητικό, δεν έμαθες απαραίτητα τη γλώσσα. Η αληθινή εξέταση είναι η αληθινή ζωή.

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄ Π. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 3 Πριν 38 χρόνια δημιουργήσαμε έναν χώρο ξενόγλωσσης εκπαίδευσης στον Χορτιάτη. Μετά από 38 χρόνια λειτουργίας έχουμε βάλει νέους στόχους με σκοπό να αλλάξουμε τα δεδομένα στην ξενό- γλωσση εκπαίδευση , απευθυνόμενοι στους μαθητές και στις ανάγκες του 21ου αιώνα. Το κοινό του Χορτιάτη μας αγκάλιασε αλλά και μαθητές που αψηφούν την απόσταση και έρχονται από Χαριλάου,Πανόραμα ,Πυλαία , Ρετζίκι μεγαλώσαμε, ανανεωθήκαμε, εξελιχτήκαμε και είμαστε έτοιμοι για μία ακόμη υπέροχη σχολική χρονιά! Με διδακτική εμπειρία 38 ετών, ανώτατες σπουδές σε Ελλάδα και εξωτερικό και διαρκή επιμόρφωση σε ότι νέο στην ξενόγλωσση εκπαίδευση Με αποκλειστικές συνεργασίες με σχολεία σε Ελλάδα κι εξωτερικό και συναδέλφους που κάνουν τη διαφορά στον χώρο τους. Με σταθερό προσωπικό καθηγητών που απαρτίζεται από νέους ειδικά καταρτισμένους ανθρώπους με τους ο- ποίους μοιραζόμαστε το ίδιο όραμα για μια διαφορετική εκπαίδευση & προσωπική επιμέλεια κάθε εκπαιδευτι- κού προγράμματος αλλά και επιπέδου από την διεύθυνση σπουδών. Η διδασκαλία των ξένων γλωσσών από το εξειδικευμένο προσωπικό δεν γίνεται μόνο μέσω των βιβλίων, αλλά και μέσω βιωματικών δραστηριοτήτων και διαδραστικών προγραμμάτων που ενσωματώνουν τη λογοτεχνία, την τέχνη και τον πολιτισμό. Επίκεντρο αποτε- λεί ο μαθητής και η παροχή μιας ολιστικής εμπειρίας μάθησης, ώστε ο κάθε διδασκόμενος να αποκτήσει τις α- παραίτητες δεξιότητες για να χρησιμοποιεί αποτελεσματικά μια ξένη γλώσσα στη ζωή του. Σε έναν ανακαινισμένο χώρο που όμως αποπνέει την ζεστασιά του οικείου. Πάνω από όλα με αμέριστη αγάπη για το λειτούργημά μας και υπευθυνότητα ώστε κάθε χρόνο να εκπληρώνου- με την υπόσχεση μας για μια ξενόγλωσση εκπαίδευση που κάνει τη διαφορά. Tο Κέντρο µας προσφέρει το ιδανικό περιβάλλον µάθησης για τα παιδιά µέσα από τα τρία βασικά στοι- χεία που οδηγούν το παιδί να µαθαίνει αποτελεσµατικά: α) τον ικανό δάσκαλο, β) την οργανωµένη µεθο- δολογία και γ) το κοινωνικό περιβάλλον των συµµαθητών που εµπνέει, ενθουσιάζει το παιδί και διδάσκει αυτοδιαχείριση και κοινωνικές δεξιότητες Ο ∆ΑΣΚΑΛΟΣ Ο δάσκαλος είναι το πιο “µαγικό” συστατικό της µάθησης. Ας δούµε, λοιπόν, τα κριτήρια που ορίζουν τον δάσκαλο: • Ειδική κατάρτιση στην διδασκαλία της ξένης γλώσσας Όλοι µπορούµε να είµαστε δάσκαλοι κατά κάποιο τρόπο, σε ένα αντικείµενο που γνωρίζουµε καλά. Αλλά δεν θα είµαστε καλοί δάσκαλοι, αν δεν έχουµε διδαχτεί πώς να το διδάσκουµε, και πώς να µεταδίδουµε σφαιρικά τη γνώση. Καλός δάσκαλος, δεν είναι αυτός που γνωρίζει το αντικείµενο, αλλά αυτός που γνωρίζει εξειδικευµένα πώς να το µεταδίδει και µάλιστα σε παιδιά, όπου η ηλικία παίζει τεράστιο ρόλο στο πώς θέλει την πληροφορία το παιδί, πώς την αφοµοιώνει, πώς την κατανοεί. Συχνά στην ξένη γλώσσα, οι γονείς θεωρούν ότι µια φοιτήτρια, που ξέρει αγγλικά, ή κάποιος γνωστός που έχει Proficiency και ζητά ένα ελάχιστο αντίτιµο για την ώρα του θα κάνει ιδιαίτερα στο παιδί, θα φροντίσει «ατοµικά» το παιδί τους. Στην πραγµατι- κότητα χαντακώνουν το παιδί τους µε έναν ανεπαρκή δάσκαλο, που ξέρει αγγλικά µεν, αλλά δεν ξέρει πώς να βοηθήσει το παιδί να τα αγαπήσει και να τα µάθει κατάλληλα, σωστά και αποτελεσµατικά, ώστε να µπορεί να τα χρησιµοποιεί, να τα µιλά και να τα αποδώσει στις εξετάσεις του.

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄ Π. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 4 • Εξειδικευµένες γνώσεις στο αντικείµενό του ∆εν χρειάζεται να το ξαναπούµε. ∆άσκαλος δεν είναι αυτός που ξέρει το αντικείµενο, αλλά αυτός που έχει διδαχτεί την τέχνη και τη µέθοδο να µεταδίδει τις γνώσεις που έχει. Σπάνια πάµε να µάθουµε οδήγηση µε έναν καλό οδηγό του περιβάλλοντός µας. Κι αυτό γιατί εκνευρίζεται, µαλώνει, χάνει την υποµονή του. Και καταλήγουµε να απευθυνθούµε στον δάσκαλο οδήγησης που ξέρει ακριβώς πώς να διδάξει. Τα παιδιά όµως µας εµπιστεύονται. ∆εν ξέρουν να φέρνουν αντιρρήσεις. Και µάλιστα δεν ξέρουν να φέρουν αντιρρήσεις στον ανειδίκευτο δά- σκαλο, που τα αφήνει χαλαρά, δεν έχει απαιτήσεις και κάνει τη ζωή τους εύκολη. Και οι γονείς είναι ευχαριστηµένοι ενώ θα έπρεπε να είναι έντονα προβληµατισµένοι. • ∆ιαρκής ενηµέρωση και µετεκπαίδευση Ένα οργανωµένο Κέντρο Ξένων Γλωσσών, επενδύει στην σωστή κατάρτιση αλλά και στην ενηµέρωση των δασκάλων, στην διαρκή ανανέωση των γνώσεων τους, στην παρακολούθηση της τεχνολογίας και των νέων µεθοδολογιών. Ούτε ο δάσκαλος του δηµοσίου, ούτε ο ηµιµαθής και κακοπληρωµένος δάσκαλος των ιδιαίτερων µαθηµάτων θα ασχοληθούν για να προχωρή- σουν τα συστήµατα, τις µεθόδους, τα υλικά τους. Και καταλήγει ένα παιδί στον 21ο αιώνα να διδάσκεται εντελώς στοιχειωδώς και ηµιτελώς την ξένη γλώσσα. • Πρόγραµµα και µαθησιακοί στόχοι Στα ιδιαίτερα, το πρόγραµµα και οι στόχοι καθορίζονται από το βιβλίο που ακολουθεί ο δάσκαλος. Σε ένα οργανωµένο επιστη- µονικά Κέντρο Ξένης Γλώσσας, το πρόγραµµα και οι µαθησιακοί στόχοι καθορίζονται µε βάση ευρύτερα κριτήρια: τα παιδιά, η αλληλεπίδρασή τους, οι ικανότητές τους, τα νέα αναλυτικά προγράµµατα ύλης για την ηλικία τους. • Εξατοµίκευση της διδασκαλίας Ο ικανός δάσκαλος ξένης γλώσσας παρακολουθεί κάθε παιδί στην τάξη ξεχωριστά. Ξέρει την ανάγκη του κάθε παιδιού και µέ- σα στην αγκαλιά της τάξης, φροντίζει το κάθε παιδί να βρίσκει τις λύσεις που χρειάζεται χωρίς να αποµονώνεται και χωρίς να νοιώθει µόνο του. • ∆ιδακτικές ικανότητες Ο ικανός δάσκαλος, ο ενηµερωµένος δάσκαλος, ξέρει πολύ καλά πλέον ότι πρέπει να δουλεύει µε τη µεταδοτικότητά του, µε τη φιλικότητα και την προσέγγιση του παιδιού. Αξιολογεί διαρκώς τον εαυτό του, και κατά πόσο περνάνε αποτελεσµατικά οι γνώ- σεις που διδάσκει στα παιδιά. Αυτή η στάση όµως, είναι χαρακτηριστική στον δάσκαλο που έχει επαγγελµατισµό, που δεν κά- νει, τυχαία, µερικά ιδιαίτερα για να συµπληρώσει το εισόδηµά του, ή «… µέχρι να βρει κάτι καλύτερο». Η ΜΕΘΟ∆ΟΛΟΓΙΑ Όχι «παπαγαλία» στη διδασκαλία Υπάρχουν άπειροι δάσκαλοι που διδάσκουν «παπαγαλία»… δηλαδή παίρνουν ένα βιβλίο και το ακολουθούν λέξη- λέξη και άσκηση προς άσκηση. Αλλά αυτό δεν είναι µάθηµα ξένης γλώσσας. Ναι, βέβαια, το µάθηµα της ξένης γλώσσας έχει πάντα ένα βιβλίο. Αλ- λά στην τάξη µέσα, ο εξειδικευµένος δάσκαλος κάνει πολλά περισσότερα: συζητά, κάνει ερωτήσεις, φέρνει επιπλέ- ον ύλη (εικόνες, ιστορίες, τραγούδια, διαδικτυακό υλικό), που ανοίγει τους ορίζοντες των παιδιών και επεκτείνει τις ικανότητές τους στην ξένη γλώσσα. ∆εν µπορεί το παιδί µας να διδάσκεται ίδια κι απαράλλαχτα µε τον τρόπο που διδαχτήκαµε και εµείς την ξένη γλώσσα… τότε που δεν υπήρχε ακόµα τεχνολογία, ίντερνετ και περισσότερα πορίσµατα ερευνών – µελετών πάνω στη διδασκαλία της ξένης γλώσσας. ∆εν µπορεί το µόνο που αλλάζει στη διδασκαλία της ξένης γλώσσας από τη δική µας εποχή, των γονιών, να είναι µόνο τα βιβλία, που σήµερα έχουν ωραιότερες και πιο σύγχρονες φωτογραφίες.

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄ Π. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 5 Η τωρινή εποχή απαιτεί κάτι άλλο. Μια πιο σύγχρονη µεθοδολογία, νέες προσεγγίσεις, πιο σύγχρονες µεθοδολογί- ες. Το οργανωµένο Κέντρο Ξένων Γλωσσών σήµερα διαθέτει αυτή την ανανεωµένη µεθοδολογία εκµάθησης, και την υποστηρίζει µε τεχνολογία, µε υπολογιστές και µε διαδραστικούς πίνακες. Τόσο µάλιστα, ώστε καταλήγει το ιδιαίτερο µάθηµα να είναι φτωχό για το παιδί, τόσο σε µέθοδο, τρόπους εκµάθη- σης, όσο και σε ερεθίσµατα. Και θα σχολίαζε κάποιος γονιός: «ναι, δεν πειράζει, φτάνει το παιδί µου να µαθαίνει» Όχι, αγαπητοί γονείς, δεν αρκεί να µαθαίνει το παιδί, πρέπει να µαθαίνει ανάλογα µε την εποχή του. Πρέπει να µαθαίνει και ταυτόχρονα να «ξυπνά» στις απαιτήσεις τις εποχής, που περιλαµβάνουν τεχνολογία, ίντερνετ, νέες µεθόδους. Αλλιώς, ναι, ίσως και να µαθαίνει, αλλά βαριέται, αξιοποιεί ελάχιστες από τις δυνατότητες του, και προ- χωρά πολύ αργά ή και καθόλου στην εποχή του, στην εποχή στην οποία πρέπει να επιβιώσει και να διαπρέψει. Η ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΚΗ ΜΑΘΗΣΗ Οι συµµαθητές είναι οι υπόλοιποι δάσκαλοι του παιδιού! Είναι ανεκτίµητης αξίας η µάθηση που παίρνει το παιδί από τους συµµαθητές του, µαζί µε τους συµµαθητές του. Όταν τα παιδιά µας µεγαλώνουν µόνα τους, σε κουτιά, χωρίς αυλές, χωρίς κήπους, πόσο σηµαντικό είναι εµείς οι γονείς να δηµιουργούµε κοινωνικά περιβάλλοντα γι αυτά; Υπάρχει περίπτωση να βαρεθεί ένα παιδί σε ένα πάρτυ µε τους φίλους του; Υπάρχει περίπτωση να µη θέλει να συµµετέχει σε µια εκδροµή µε την παρέα; Υπάρχει περίπτωση στο τέλος του καλοκαιριού να µη λαχταρά να βρεθεί µε τους συµµαθητές του στο σχολείο; Υπάρχει περίπτωση να µην πηδήξει από χαρά αν του πείτε ότι θα έρθουν φίλοι του στο σπίτι; Η παρέα δεν είναι το µαγικό συστατικό που ενθουσιάζει τα παιδιά µόνο στο παιχνίδι και στη διασκέδαση. Η παρέα είναι ένα από τα πιο µαγικά συστατικά που προάγουν και τη µάθηση. Μερικές φορές απορώ που δεν εί- ναι αυτονόητο αυτό! Γιατί όµως είναι τόσο σηµαντική η οµάδα, η παρέα, στην τάξη; Όχι µόνο γιατί το κοινωνικό περιβάλλον, δηλαδή τα άλλα παιδιά ευχαριστούν και ενθουσιάζουν το παιδί, αλλά και επειδή στο κοινωνικό περιβάλλον θα µάθει στο παιδί τις ουσιαστικές δεξιότητες για τη ζωή, τις κοινωνικές δεξιότη- τες δηλαδή και µάλιστα κάτω από την άγρυπνη επίβλεψη και καθοδήγηση ενός καλού δασκάλου. Πού; Στο Κέντρο Ξένης Γλώσσας, µια που στο δηµόσιο σχολείο οι δάσκαλοι, όντας υπερφορτωµένοι δεν ξοδεύουν χρόνο για να ασχοληθούν µε την ψυχή των παιδιών.

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄ Π. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 6 Μέσα στην αγκαλιά της οµάδας και µε την επίβλεψη του δασκάλου, το παιδί µαθαίνει: • Τη συνεργασία: το παιδί µαθαίνει να δουλεύει στην οµάδα, να συνεισφέρει, να ακούει τους συµµαθητές του. Θα χρειαστεί να δουλέψει οµαδικά και να συνεισφέρει και θα µάθει να το κάνει αυτό σωστά, έτσι όπως άλλωστε αργότερα θα απαιτηθεί στον επαγγελµατικό χώρο και γενικά, σε κάθε έκφανση της ζωής του. • Τη συµµετοχή: το παιδί θα µάθει να σηκώνει το χέρι του, να µιλά µπροστά στους συµµαθητές, να µην ντρέπεται, να διεκδικεί. Θα απολαύσει τη χαρά να το ακούν οι φίλοι του, να ακούει το µπράβο και από τη δασκάλα και από αυτούς. • Την αυτοδιαχείριση: µέσα στην οµάδα το παιδί µαθαίνει να δίνει χώρο στους άλλους, να κάνει υποµονή, να συµπορεύεται µε διαφορετικούς χαρακτήρες, να αντιµετωπίζει και τις δυσκολίες των σχέσεων και τις προκλήσεις και τις συγκρούσεις, πάντα µε την επίβλεψη των ενηλίκων. Είναι πολύ σηµαντικό, να µάθει να διαχειρίζεται την ανυποµονησία, το θυµό, την ένταση. Θα κερδί- σει αυτοεκτίµηση, σιγουριά και αυτοπεποίθηση στην οµάδα. • Την αυτοπαρακίνηση: ας µην ξεχνάµε, ότι οι συµµαθητές αποτελούν µια πηγή παρακίνησης για το παιδί. Η οµάδα εµπνέει το παιδί, πώς και πότε χρειάζεται να προσπαθήσει περισσότερο, πώς και πότε πρέπει να βάλει τα δυνατά του. Η µαθητική παρέα δεν αφήνει το παιδί να εφησυχάσει, αντίθετα το υποχρεώνει να εντατικοποιήσει το ρυθµό µάθησης, µέσα στα πλαίσια που µπορεί και τα καταφέρνει. Σε αντίθεση µε τα παραπάνω, το ιδιαίτερο µάθηµα, είναι φτωχό µαθησιακά από κάθε πλευρά. Μερικές φορές γονείς µου εξοµο- λογούνται: “έβαλα το παιδί µου σε ιδιαίτερο και βελτιώθηκαν οι επιδόσεις του”. Ναι, βέβαια, φαινοµενικά, και µε τι κόστος για το παιδί; Άραγε αργότερα όταν θα χρειάζεται να κάνει τη δική του προσπάθεια, θα έχει το δάσκαλο πάνω από το κεφάλι του βήµα προς βήµα, σαν δεκανίκι; Το παιδί πρέπει να διδάσκεται στην οµάδα και πρέπει να διδάσκεται από την οµάδα. Την ξένη γλώσσα και όχι µόνο… ∆ιδάσκε- ται την ίδια τη ζωή κάτω από τις καλύτερες προϋποθέσεις, σε ένα Κέντρο Ξένης Γλώσσας µε δασκάλους που ξέρουν τα παιδιά και ξέρουν καλά τη δουλειά τους! Η διεύθυνση του Κέντρου µας το διδακτικό και διοικητικό προσωπικό σας εύχονται Χαρούµενα Χριστούγεννα και ευτυχισµένη η νέα χρονιά !!

You will have other problems too, for example in your eyes. You won’t see well, everything will be blur. If you are not fit and you sit all day at home, you won’t breathe fresh air. Your teeth will be not so good and you will have skin problems too. We don’t want all those things to happen, so we mustn’t drink alcohol. Some people are addicted to it, but they mustn’t drink too much of it. The same thing happens with smoking. A lot of people sit all day and watch T.V. and while they watch T.V., they eat unhealthy snacks. If you do all those things you must stop it! They are not good for our health. We mustn’t eat unhealthy food, but we must eat something. For example we can eat vegetables and fruit. We can eat bananas, apples , oranges , tomatoes , potatoes and other fruit and vegetables . As much weight you have, that much water you have to drink. We must do a lot of activities too. We must start a sport or go to the gym. We must keep our body in shape and exercise.

Children don’t go to school and businesses close for four days. It is a special day for families, and people travel great distances just to be with their families for this occasion. Families get together for a feast or a large meal. They eat roast turkey with cranberry sauce, potatoes and pumpkin pie. Many organisations also prepare a free meal for poor people in their towns or cities. Thanksgiving became a national holiday because of a woman named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving. At last she was successful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday. In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is now Massachusetts. In England the Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practice their religion. So they went to the New World in search of religious freedom. The Pilgrims first winter was very hard. Almost half of the group died of cold, hunger and disease. But the Native Americans of Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to hunt and to fish. When the next fall came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Native Americans to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day is a harvest celebration. Traditionally, it was a time to give thanks for a big harvest. It is also a holiday to express appreciation to family and friends. This is why it is celebrated with a big family feast. It is a time when families come together and eat a lot of food. It is a day of gratitude and appreciation. Everybody talks about what they are thankful for.

His paint- ings combine a realistic observation of the human state, both physical and emotional, with a dra- matic use of lighting, which had a formative influ- ence on Baroque painting Biography Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi or Amerighi) was born in Milan, where his father, Fermo (Fermo Merixio), was a household administrator and ar- chitect-decorator to the Marchese of Caravaggio, a town not far from the city of Bergamo.In 1576 the family moved to Caravaggio (Caravaggius) to es- cape a plague that ravaged Milan, and Caravag- gio's father and grandfather both died there on the same day in 1577.It is assumed that the artist grew up in Caravaggio, but his family kept up connections with the Sforzas and with the powerful Colonna family, who were allied by marriage with the Sforzas and destined to play a major role later in Caravaggio's life. Death Caravaggio had a fever at the time of his death, and what killed him has been a mat- ter of historical debate and study. Traditionally historians have long thought he died of syphilis. Some have said he had malaria, or possibly brucellosis from unpasteurised dairy. Some scholars have argued that Caravaggio was actually attacked and killed by the same \"enemies\" that had been pursuing him since he fled Malta, possibly Wigna- court and/or factions of the Knights Michalis Kontas His Art The Musicians Mary Magdalene The Raising of Lazarus Supervising Teacher: Panagou Lilia Class: Pre Lower 1 + 2

Fifteen artworks are generally attributed either in whole or in large part to him. The authorship of several paintings traditionally at- tributed to Leonardo is disputed. Two major works are known only as copies. Works are regularly attrib- uted to Leonardo with varying degrees of credibility. None of Leonardo's paintings are signed. The attri- butions here draw on the opinions of various schol- ars. The small number of surviving paintings is due in part to Leonardo's frequently disastrous experimen- tation with new techniques and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless, these few works together with his notebooks, which contain draw- ings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise a contribution to later generations of artists rivaled only by that of his contem- porary, Michelangelo..

In 1870 he married Camille Doncieu, with whom he had an affair and already had a son, Jean. In 1858 he met Ezen Budden, who was one of his first teachers and encouraged him to paint the countryside, a common theme for painters at that time. The following year he settled in Paris where he continued his studies at the Swiss Acad- emy and came into contact with the works of ma- jor painters while visiting the Louvre Museum. In 1908 he began to have problems with his eyesight as he suffered from a cataract. He eventually un- derwent two surgeries in 1923, which allowed him to continue painting. He died three years later, in 1926, at the age of 86 in Ziverny, as a wealthy and renowne painter.

Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissanc masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August, 1931, and is one of the most recognisable Surrealist paintings. Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, at times in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media. Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork.

ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 35 Famous Artist: Michelangelo Michelangelo, an Italian sculptor, painter, tect and poet of the High Renasance was born in 1475 in Caprese, Tuscany. A number of Michelangelo's works of painting, sculpture and architecture rank among the most famous in existence.Mention Michelangelo and one work that instantly comes to mind is the artist’s stunning fresco painted on the ceiling of the Vatican City’s Sistine Chapel. Commissioned by Pope Julius II and created between 1508 and 1512, the work – which depicts nine stories from the Book of Genesis – is considered one of the greatest works of the High Ren- aissance. Michelangelo himself was apparently reluc- tant to take on the project, as he saw himself as a more accomplished sculptor than painter, but the work nevertheless continues to enthrall today with around five million people flocking to the Sistine Chapel every year to see his masterpiece. The work done by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is a cornerstone of Renaissance art and The Creation of Adam is the most famous fresco panel of the masterpiece. The popularity of the painting is second only to Mona Lisa; and along with The Last Supper of Da Vinci, it is the most replicated religious painting of all time. The image of the near-touching hands of God and Adam has become iconic of humanity and has been imitated and parodied innumerable times. During the early 1500s, Michelangelo was commissioned by Angelo Doni to paint a “Holy Family” as a present for his wife, Maddalena Strozzi . Michel- angelo used the form of a tondo, or round frame, for the painting . Doni Tondo features the Christian Holy family (the child Jesus, Mary, and Saint Joseph) along with John the Baptist in the foreground and contains five am- biguous nude male figures in the background. It is the only finished panel painting by the mature Michelangelo to survive. In 1524, Michelangelo was commissioned by the Medici pope to design the li- brary for the San Lorenzo’s Church in Florence, Italy. Michelangelo designed both the interior of the library itself and its vestibule. He pioneered the Man- nerist style in his design of the library which became renowned for its archi- tecture. The Laurentian Library is one of Michelangelo’s most important ar- chitectural achievements and his innovations and use of space in the library were revolutionary.
