Erasmus 70 Years of European History

School trip to “CCB”9th APRIL 2016

Made by: 9ºD-Mariana Mata;-Natacha Monteiro;

On Saturday, 9th April 2016, the students and teachers of our school involved in Erasmus 70 Years of European History Project went on a school trip to CCB to see a collection of Contemporary Art in Berardo Museum. When we arrived in Lisbon,

we went to “Pastéis de Belém”.

When we arrived to CCB we were received by a guide who explained us a lot of interesting things about Berardo’s collection of Modern Art. She explained us that there are different ways to

understand Modern Art.

The first work she showed us was an example of minimalist art. It was composed of two steal squares showing how a

heavy and difficult thing can look slight and easy.

Then we saw a picture of a cactus and the cactus itself.

In the next room we saw a roof tile that had a piece of lead above it.

Then we saw two oval “cuts” in a half and each one of the parts was fixed in opposite walls.

Finally we saw a bunch of pictures of buildings that looked like they had the same high but they hadn’t. They represented black

and white pictures of industrial landscapes.

To finish our visit, the guide wrote in a card some topics/ ideas about the meaning of ART.

We enjoyed our school trip. It was an interesting trip because we were able to see works of art, learnt its meaning and also different ways to interpretate it.
