Budding Artists
The grade 3 students have completed their summative assessments for our Paint Me a Picture unit of inquiry. They have collaboratively planned and painted an 80cm x 80cm acrylic painting entitled 'Sunset in the Country'. It demonstrates their ability to work as a team, as well as the many painting skills they have developed throughout the unit. They should be very proud of their finished piece of artwork! There are some future artists in our midst.

The students have also painted individual pictures on a 40cm x 40cm canvas with acrylic paint showing their original ideas and incorporating the style(s) of the artists we have studied. Again, they have ‘passed this task with flying colors’, as they each created a painting that they can be proud of!
Their paintings are on display in the school until Friday and then they will hang in the stairwell once Mr. Bill gets a chance to exchange them with the paintings of the students from last year. If you didn't have the chance to see the art exhibition as a part of the student-led conferences, please feel free to drop by and see them first hand! It is worth the visit!
