September 21st

Grade 5 & 6

Today we had some technical difficulties but Yoga will commence on Wednesday's class as planned. In class we had a healthy competition of Visual Arts Pictionary.

Senior Kindergarten

We were a very energetic group today! We made bubbles with our hands through various exercises and drew them on paper.

Grade 7 & 8 Art

We learned about the work of Jill Bliss and are working on creating our own still-life drawings using her technique. Students are reminded to:

1. Create two sketches to show Mrs. Kerr before making the final copy
2. Use crip and clean lines/dots to create their still-life drawing
3. Use at least one element of colour




Grade 7 Technology

Students were given the following handout to start their next project:
