“The Swimming Pool”. These cutouts have been meticulously restored to replicate the way Matisse had them in his studio. Such an immersive experience at the @MuseumModernArt

Step 1: write a poem
Step 2: make a sculpture inspired your poem

As always - so amazed by the concepts that these grade 7 artists come up with.

I loved seeing the grade 5 class talking about their own sculptures and providing feedback to their classmates too #arttalk #arted

More texture being created with string!

Dusting off the Twitter cobwebs with my first tweet back from maternity leave!

The grade 5s are “showing what they know” about the elements of art in this final assignment. Look at that tea texture being created with yarn!

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Cake pop sculptures!

Tis the season for warmth and light! The grade 5s learned about warm and cool colours while drawing these beautiful candles today @ms_mcclure

The Friday co-curricular art club working away at making a special sign for the JS art studio.

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Art club experimentation with acrylics! And hands, of course.

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

The grade 5s are learning about “line” as one of the elements of art. They each created a foam carving of one type of line pattern and then made a block print of their carving. Way to go Gr. 5s! @ms_mcclure

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

What do we do with our “bad prints”? We repurpose them as mixed media collages of course. #arted #printmaking

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Another day of making block prints in the art studio ✨

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Lots of printmaking experiments are happening on the freakiest of fridays. 🎃 👻

“We think intolerance is something that we read about that happened somewhere else but it happened here too and it wasn’t that long ago” - Ted Staunton, author of The Good Fight @Scholastic

Let the Lino cutters roll! We are well into our printmaking unit on the theme of “nature and identity”. Can’t wait to see how these prints turn out!

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Some snaps from the grade 7’s close encounters with nature today.

@TCSBears JS students learned some of Canada’s truth during today’s #TruthandReconciliationDay activities. Here are some of their feelings and commitments to reconciliation.

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

“Tell me about your artwork!” Yes! thanks @theartofed

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Nothing better than seeing students who are so “in flow” that they work on their projects while standing or even sitting on the floor. Love to see it!

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Collage Party!

[Kate Hessin @KateHessin]

Today the gr. 5 & 6 students got their sketchbooks and started designing the covers. So cool to see all the various experiments with tape and paint!
