School-Wide
"Where We Live" Inquiry
Over the past month, Kindergarten to Grade 3/4 students have been exploring ways to represent their community using different art techniques
Views from our school neighbourhood...what buildings and places will you choose to represent in your artwork?
Kindergarten: Marble painting
Grade 1: Water paint and collage
Grade 2: Collage using maps of Flemingdon Park, Ontario and Canada
Grade 3 and 3/4: Printmaking
It is interesting to compare the techniques we used and look at how different grades represented our community
