Hi All!
Hope you are all doing well and gearing up for summer vacation!
Just wanted to update you with what is going on during art class...
First things first, our Art/Technology Show
has been set for the
evening of Tuesday, June 9th.
As of right now,
the time is 6:30pm- 8:00pm.
Here you will be able to see your children's artwork that will remain hung up from the International Dinner plus some more work from classes as well.
I think they have changed to name of the International Dinner to something else...
I remember something about Cuisines of the World... Either way, hope you can make it there!
It's a FABULOUS mix of artwork, food, fun and dancing!!
A quick update on what we are working on across the grades:
K is going to be starting their final portfolios...
Grade 1 is working on a variety of projects including observational drawing, junk sculpture, bookmaking as well as clay.
**The first grade art field day will be on Monday, June 8th.**
Grade 2 & 4 are focusing on portraiture & aboriginal art
Grade 6 is involved in an artistic/social experiment in which 75 people all need to interpret the same word (chair). Their presentations are due Tuesday May, 12th and final projects will be on display at both the International Dinner as well as the art/technology fair.
Following this project they will be focusing on their final unit, which will be glass artist Chihuly. Unfortunately we do not have facilities to accommodate a glass studio, but we have the next best thing...a creative art teacher's mind : )
Many of you have asked me about your children's artwork and why it hasn't come home. Decorating the gym is a HUGE task and I keep the artwork so that I can do that.
After the art/technology fair, I will be sending home all of the artwork.
They are then all yours! :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful mother's day and I look forward to seeing you all during the rest of the school year!
