    From March 23, we start the learning process remotely. During the holiday week, teachers have been working on the methodology of the learning tasks so that they can teach them remotely. Assignments will be sent no more than once a week to the student or their parents emails. The e-mails and telephone numbers of the subject teachers are indicated on the task sheets - for mutual communication between the learners and the subject teachers, for maintaining feedback.

     Let us be mutually understanding and responsible for the tasks to be performed in order to implement the curriculum remotely in this difficult time.
Let's plan our daily workload and responsibilities thoughtfully, take care of ourselves and our loved ones!

Teachers of Aluksne Art School

          Official information on the epidemiological situation in the country can be found on the website of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control https://spkc.gov.lv/lv/aktualitates/get/nid/757

Alūksne Art School in cooperation with Riga School of Design and Art.

     This year October 18th Aluksne Art School teachers together with 3rd-7th grade students went on an educational field trip to visit topical art exhibitions in Riga. In order for the exhibition attendance to be memorable, to enable learners to reflect more deeply on what they saw, and to delve deeper into its content and form, each student had to analyze their impressions and provide answers to the questions formulated by the educators in the worksheets.
     First of all, in Riga, we visited the Arsenāls Exhibition Hall, where in the creative workshop we explored the stage image created by the stage designer Andris Freibergs for the opera "Iemūrētie" at the exhibition "136 pakāpieni". The exhibition title symbolically contained the artist's own 80 years of life and 56 steps we had to walk to get to the exhibit. To reflect the theme, Freibergs moderated the language of the exhibition at the same time as a stage designer and director, enabling the viewer to enter the artist's living space through symbolic steps of life, perceiving its presence with unconventional feelings.
      At the Art Museum Riga Bourse, we visited the exhibition "Metaphysics of Light" dedicated to the creative work of the outstanding Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky. This exhibition brought to light works of art in which lighting and light are a key component of the composition and combines a single dominant theme - variations in lighting, reproducing the artist's elaborate mastery of painting on canvas, such as water, light and space, enchanting the viewer.
In an unconventional view of the world, we were introduced by the artists Mastiņa-Pēterkopa and Rolands Pēterkops, or duet "Mareunrol's" in the exhibition ‘’Augmented Reality’’ at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. In Latvia, the duo of artists “Mareunrol’s” is mainly known as artists who have modeled costumes for many theater and opera performances. Though the works of this exhibition allow the viewer to look at the authors' message in a much wider perspective. The artist duo Mareunrol's have interpreted the idea of the exhibition as follows: “Fashion is like information contained in codes; they need to be able to read them, building new ones from existing codes to move on, because that is the only possible way to develop, creating the collective subconscious as a driving force for development. ”
       As part of our trip, at the Daugava Art Gallery, we visited a sculptural exhibition entitled "Zvērīgā spēle," by sculptor Aigars Bikše, in which the artist personally expresses his feelings in Japan at a time of political conflict between North Korea and the United States and when air defense missile equipment was stationed on the streets of Tokyo for security purposes. "Surikats uz mīnas", "Zaķis ar granātu ķepā" and other sculptural works symbolically visualize military armament as a deliberately cultivated "monstrous reality game" played out on our planet from time to time. It was a valuable experience for us all to understand the language of sculpture, making us think of a topic so important to PEACE and LIFE!

     In May 2019, the works of the students of the Aluksne School of Art were sent to the children's art competition ‘’Europe-China’’ exhibition, in Beijing, China. The theme of the competition is that European children paint their impressions of China, while Chinese children paint their impressions of Europe.

 The works of our school students are available at https://mengxiangzhongou.com/gallery/index.php?/category/2&lang=mk_MK
