Viking kites

We are proud to tell that we have been making kites at Stangnes! 

The kite project involved all students at the Programme area Art, Craft and Design (1SFA, 2SFA, 3SFA).

We started this project first by doing individual sketches. The theme was the Viking era and its´ décor. Then we assembled in groups, 3-4 students in each group and every student was from different classes.  Afterwards we chose which décor to use.

We used the experience from our visit at Escola Massana.

On a windy day we hope to take the 9 kites out for a flight ! 

Kite Building

During the second exchange in Barcelona in March 2014, all the thirty exchange students made fifteen kites inspired in the natural forms present in Gaudí's works.

Kite Building Instruction

Cécile Dediue Augé made a thorough instruction in Catalan. This instruction is now translated into English (by Cristina de la Cruz) and into Norwegian "Nynorsk" (by Magne Leon Heide).

You might use this Construcció d'estels / Kite construction / Drakelaging free for your own purposes on internet, but we appreciate that you make some small credits to the makers of this instruction.
