Creative Hair Design Project

For this project, BCA Canada artists have created unique hair style to change their look using papers.
Students explored various techniques of cutting, folding, ripping, crumpled, and overlapping papers. They came up with some really interesting ideas. Some decided to make their hair pop out of the paper to create 3-dimentional effect.
Each grade has different color for their hair.
Kindergarteners-red, Grade 1-pink, Grade 2-orange, and Grade 3-yellow.
Upper grades will be using different colors for this project and I will update with their work next week.

Surrealistic Eye Project

BCA Canada artists have been creating surrealistic eye drawing using sharpies, colored pencils, and oil pastels last week. In the beginning, students looked at human eye pictures and discussed how eyes can express our feelings without verbal language. We shared the idea of eyes being a "window to the soul".

Students looked at many surrealistic eye drawings and paintings including Belgian Surrealist painter, René Magritte's "The False Mirror".

To begin this project, students were asked to answer following questions to brainstorm ideas for their surreal eyes.
- What is important to you?
- What is your favorite place?
- What makes you feel happy?

Here are some pictures of their brainstorming sketches, students working in process and their finished work:

The First Project: Self-portrait

Students in Kindergarten to Grade 5 created a self-portrait on the first day of art. They observed their face features closely looking at a mirror and tried to capture all the details. Here are some examples:
