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 

Art ASA (Grade 3-5)

At GWA, every art class is a treat. Students are always enthusiastic and eager to come to class. I feel so lucky to teach such an amazing group of artists :) But seeing students who are so into art that they want to stay after a long day at school -now that's dedication!


During our first ASA class, we shared some goals and ideas about what they would like to do this term, and then we started with some drawing warm-ups.

We looked at a Malaysian artist, Cheeming Boey, who draws on cups. We talked about his art and the kind of drawings we might like to put on a cup. After creating our designs based on either real objects or imaginary ideas, we took out the sharpies and spent the rest of class working on our styrofoam cups. It was a little challenging in the beginning creating the lines we wanted on the soft cups, but after a little practise everyone looked like pros!
