The month of the Francophonie, March, is behind us, and International School students didn’t miss the opportunity to mark it. On 28 and 30 March Year 11 French language students, together with their teacher, Ms Marija Panić, celebrated French culture by participating in a school project on French 19th-century art. The lessons caught the attention of the students who have Spanish and German as the second languages and joined their classmates.

The students investigated and presented the results of their research on French 19th-century art. It all resulted in getting to know more about French romanticism (Eugène Delacroix, presented by Mia Aleksić), impressionism (Claude Monet, presented by Teodora Beatović and Isidora Šušović; Auguste Renoir, presented by Viktor Božin), as well as about post-impressionism and its influence on cubism (Paul Cézanne, presented by Tyler Vuk Fidelak).

Together with their French teacher, the students shared their impressions of the paintings and the main characteristics  of that period of art, as well the link between artistic expression, science and technological innovation of that epoch.
