The Nueva School

Hi there

We are The Nueva School, an internationally recognized progressive independent school serving gifted and talented students that emphasizes integrated studies, creative arts, and social-emotional learning; and I am Daniela Steinsapir, the teacher of the art program selected to be part of the festival.

We are developing Interactive video Art projects, where kids learn about Art, conceptual art, Interface design, video art, robotics, electronics and history of experimental art. The kids are developing projects from their own imagination, after doing extensive research on New Media Art. The projects varies from Installation video interactive projects about global warming to musical robotic sculptures. We are in the process of finishing up the building phase, to start testing the interactivity soon.

Also the Climate Cartoons class will be also part of the festival. They are making short animated films to help spread global warming message. We are working together with Climate Cartoons a non-profit organization that is looking for short, inspiring films that motivate people to "Do Something" to help fight global warming, to distribute them all around the world. In this class the kids learn the basics of animation, color theory, perspective, story telling, character development and they also do an extensive research on International cartoons. We are in the process of finishing up the animatics to soon start the animation process and the adding of sound effetcs.

We look forward to meeting you all,

Daniela
