Art Show

Surreal Eyes
Each student created a drawing of an eye inspired by Surrealist painter, René Magritte. The image expressed things that are meaningful to them based on the saying, "the eye is the window to the soul”. Students also created collages — one with eye images and another with images that represent themselves.






Creative Hairdo
This project gave students the opportunity to transform their appearance by creating a unique hair style, hat or mask using paper. They explored a range of collage techniques, such as, cutting, folding, ripping, crumpling and overlapping paper. Some students decided to make their hair pop off the page to achieve a three-dimensional effect.








Collaboration Mural
Students in grade 4 to 7 assembled the forest and under the ground scenes. Younger artists in kindergarten to grade 3 worked on coloring the accents for the environment - rows of flowers, insects and animals that inhabit the land. A special contribution came from grade 2B, grade 5 and grade 7 who helped to put the finishing touches to our school mural.
