Dear Teachers,
The French Programme within the Department of Arts and Languages in Education, Faculty of Education, will be organizing an activity to mark the occasion of the Semaine de la Francophonie 2012.
This year we were thinking of involving your students by asking them to produce an artistic picture, which may be of any art form as long as it may be hung to be displayed: beautiful photos, collages, paintings, sketches, parċmina ... The exhibition will take place within the framework of a competition, Images du monde francophone, on the 20th March, during school hours, at the Foyer, Sir Temi Zammit Theatre, University of Malta. Teachers of French are invited to bring learner groups /classes to see the exhibition and interact with our University B.Ed. students, whether their learners have participated in the exhibition or not. The students will vote for the best works presented. The winners will receive beautiful book prizes kindly offered by the French Embassy’s Service de Coopération et d’Action Culturelle and their schools will be rewarded too.
As regards the themes for the artistic pictures (the size is up to the participants), we would like them to be about famous monuments / natural spots of the francophone world, not necessarily France. Below are some ideas; we are of course more familiar with Parisian monuments, but it might be worthwhile for the learners to look up photos of other monuments / spots and reproduce them. The more variety there is, the more interesting the exhibition will be!
France: Chamonix / La Mer de Glace / Le Mont Blanc ; Le Pont du Gard ; Le Palais des Papes à Avignon ; La Grotte de Choranche ; Le Théâtre Antique d’Orange ; la rue Sainte-Claire à Annecy, la Petite Venise ; Le Mont Saint-Michel ; Le Gros Horloge à Rouen.
Paris: La Géode ; Le centre Pompidou (Beaubourg) ; La Bibliothèque Nationale de France ; La Grande Arche de la Défense ; La Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Paris ; La Basilique du Sacré-Coeur ; La Conciergerie ; L’Arc de Triomphe ; La Tour Eiffel ; Le Jardin des Tuileries ; Le Jardin du Luxembourg.
Québec, Canada: Le monument Do Ré Mi Fa Sol La Si Do; Le Château Frontenac; Le Palais de Glace; Le fleuve Saint-Laurent.
Genève, Suisse: Le Parc du bastion ; La Place Neuve ; Le Jet d’Eau
Sénégal: Le Parc National de la Madeleine (les îles de la Madeleine) ; Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine ; Le Phare des Mamelles.
Students may work individually or in pairs. A helping hand from parents, art teachers, etc., is most welcome! Please communicate the names of students interested in producing an artistic picture to the Centre Franco-Maltais de Recherche et Documentation by the 14th February. The pictures should reach the Centre Franco-Maltais between 9.00am and 1.30pm or Room 320, Old Humanities Building, University of Malta by the 5th March. [...]
We look forward to welcoming you!
The students and lecturing staff, French Programme, DALE, Faculty of Education.
