Introduction

Let me introduce this blog by saying it will be a team work with the students from the English subject in António Arroio Secondary Art School. Although it will be presented in English, it is not just an English blog. The choice of the language is due not only to the subject I teach but also because, being English a língua franca, it will enable this school and its students to reach other eyes, other voices and other artistic worlds. It is most of all an Arts' blog because this is the passion that joins these students together in the same place - the love for the arts (drawing, painting, cinema, music, theatre, ceramics, jewellery,...). It is open to everyone's visit and constructive reviews because we will use this virtual little room to show what we are doing, what we enjoy doing but also to learn from others, to develop our critical thinking, to inspire and to obtain inspiration. If these were the Olympic Games, the Greeks would say "Let the games begin". I humbly suggest "Let the potential artists show their work."
