Last week of school!
It's the last week of school and my art room is being taken over! Who are these kids?!?!
Art ASA
In Mural ASA this year, our goal was to brighten up the stairwells. We wanted to make people feel happy and inspired when the go up and down the stairs. We created 4 'windows' to place in the walls. Each window is inspired by an artist -except one; it's for the yellow wall that looks like a submarine!
Here are some of our reflections about our ASA:
We learned about different artists and with our new knowledge created artwork inspired by them. -Arnav
We worked together and shared ideas to create our art work. -Alice
We expressed our feelings and personalities through our art! -Noor and Stephanie
We had fun! -Aditaay
Making murals lets our stress out, through the paintbrush and into the canvas! -Kaitlin
Working with Clay: Considering Form
Reflections on working with form
Our hands are really 'handy' because when we are using form you need good skills to make it neat and smooth. --Can
Zara added we have to use both of our hands!
We need to use lots of texture - Skye
We need to see that it's symmetrical from different directions.
You need to use your muscles to get good texture and form. -Thomas
Different tools can give us different textures -Heba
You need to look closely from different sides to see cracks. -Ghaous

Grade 2 Printmaking
Wow! Another year is almost over! To celebrate all of our growth and learning we are creating a collaborative project together. Each student is designing their own plate with a portrait of themselves. We are making individual prints and creating multiple cards. We are also putting the prints together to create a special class project (shhhhh... It's a surprise).
Here we are making the plates:
Assessing Growth in Drawing
How can I draw what I see?
At the beginning of the year, each student at GWA from Grades KG2-Grade 5 was asked to do their best drawing in 10 minutes. They had to draw a of a pot of art supplies. They reflected on their work and set goals for how they would improve in drawing this year.
Here are some of the drawings and reflections from Grade 3:
- Look for Contour Families: line, curve, angle, circle and dot.
- Air draw
- 'Imagine draw' when you need to overlap
- Look closely... even when you think you're done!
