Today we tried an outdoor activity that allowed us to realize that each artist's work is unique, and that while some art is permanent, other art is temporary (kind of like sandcastles). I was impressed with the creativity of this special group. Next time I hope to video the students explaining their work, but for now, we'll rely on my memory:
Students hard at work on their artwork.
Zoe used his collection to make a crab.
Exhibit 3: A yellow grasshopper eating grass.
Charlotte carefully arranged the yellow leaves she'd collected to represent a bug!
Joelle used her collection of leaves, flowers, rocks, and seeds to depict the boat that she went on with Sarah to Victoria. (BC Ferries should be proud!)
Joy is artfully arranging her collection.
Faith proudly presenting her very colourful jungle. This picture does not do it justice.
Exhibit 8: House
Mikaila sharing her artwork.
Arielle's Portrait: "My Dad"
This portrait is complete with rock eyes, a pinecone nose, hair, body and legs. Arielle was the only student who attempted to represent a human. Delightful!
(unfortunately the close up was not oriented correctly for the blog... will have to work on that).
Look closely, there is a tent. This piece represents an Indian camp, and it embodied both visual and dramatic arts, with the piece evolving with the action of the camp. The highly engaged artist group included Ethan, Camden, and Lincoln.
The students also had a chance to enjoy each other's art before a playground break.
Thank you to our parent helpers for their assistance in supervision as we collected and made artwork.
Next up is getting my broom to clean the sidewalk!
