Trip Details 2013
Our first stop will be Krakow, Poland to see Auschwitz/Birkenau Concentration Camp and Oskar Schindler's Enamelware Factory. We will stay two nights in Krakow and then take a night train to Prague, Czech Republic. We will stay in Prague for three nights and visit Terezin Concentration Camp and Prague Castle. Terezin was the "model concentration camp" Hi**er created and allowed

the Red Cross to visit in order to show the world Jews were being treated humanely by N***s. He set it up to look like a Jewish community, instead of concentration camp and had the inmates pose and lie about the conditions. A school house was set up and an art teacher continued to teach art to children there during WWII before she and all her students were shipped off to Auschwitz to be exterminated. Our plan is to take the 6 hour long, early morning train from Prague to Munich, Germany to explore the city where the N**i party was founded. Some of the places we will visit are Dachau Concentration Camp, Hofbrauhaus, and the Neuschwanstein Castle (the model castle for Disney's Castle.) We will take a flight from Munich to Berlin and spend four days checking out the city where the N**i Party Headquarters were established. Our tours will include Topography of Terror, Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate, Hi**er's bunker, and what is left of the Berlin Wall, as well as the Memorial for Murdered Jews of Europe. From Berlin, we will take another flight to Amsterdam to end our trip in The Netherlands and visit The Anne Frank House.

The artist who taught us about mosaics is now in Washington D.C. for the annual folk art festival at the Smithsonian. Here is a write up about her. She as so sweet and a great artist.

Here in Barcelona, “trencadís” mosaic makes up much of the city’s modernism.

In order to make a historic and stylistic comparison between Gaudi's modernist mosaics and ancient mosaics, we toured the Museo Arqueologico Nacional today and saw their excavated and well-preserved Roman Hispania mosaics...essentially where mosaics began in Spain. Can you see the difference? Could you teach the difference? Though roughly the techniques are the same, the style is completely different. There is only about 1600 years difference between the two! We think the Romans had tiny hands or good tweezers! Their pieces were as small as a pencil eraser or smaller. Sheila commented, "can you imagine asking the artist when they were going to be finished?"

I have a new appreciation for the art of mosaic’s. We will have a lot of work to do, but excited to get started on our project at Deepwater JR. High. Here are some beautiful examples of what we saw in a museum in Madrid!

After spending the morning visiting Park Guell and exploring Gaudi's mosaic works, we left inspired to learn how to create public mosaics for our own school. Antoni Gaudi is one of Barcelona's beloved artists. The city gave him free reign to create his art and architecture. We couldn't wait to go to Livia Garreta's studio to learn how Gaudi created his mosaics and have her teach us how to create one for ourselves. Livia is a respected mosaic artist in Barcelona and has been working with this art form for over 30 years. She calls them "stone paintings." Livia has restored Gaudi's mosaics in La Sagrada Familia and has created her own originals that are in locations all over Barcelona. She was recently selected by the Smithsonian in D.C. to participate in an upcoming festival. We showed her photos of our school atrium and discussed the goal for our students and community. Livia gave us technical direction and taught us how to transform the benches located there into works of art. It was an amazing experience! Terri Shelley See
