A great morning of coding for these grade 9’s in the LC!

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

It’s been so heartwarming to see these students finally able to get back on stage and do what they love. Don’t miss RND’s High School Musical this week!

When you don’t have the equipment you need- build it! These @RegiNotreDame students used a number of items from around the studio to build a pivoting rig and dolly to get the exact complex shot they had planned. Artists AND engineers! #rndmediaarts

Let’s face it. Animation is HARD. This @RegiNotreDame Media Arts group has been collaborating throughout our unit- encouraging each other, exchanging tips and knowledge, providing genuine peer feedback and even teaching me new things along the way. #foreverastudent #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

We’re searching through some classic cartoon clips today to find examples of the animation concepts we’ve been learning in class. This unit always brings out the kid in all of us. #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

Every student was pushed out of their comfort zone on this project. Creating vector art involved new software and a new way of working. So proud of this group! #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

What a treat to have a virtual visit with three RND Media Arts alumni today. They gave us insight into what life is like studying animation, interior design and interactive media. Thanks for giving back and sharing your talents and advice with this group of Gr. 12s!

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

We rounded out our photography unit with some fun creative projects. So much variety in these assignments! #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

Our Photography Art projects are starting to roll in. Check out how Gr. 12 Jerika Morey's beginning photos get transformed into a fun final product. More to come! #rndmediaarts @reginotredame

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

The process is often more important than the product. Art is made through planning, research, editing, sketching, struggling, troubleshooting and sometimes re-doing. The variety in how students document this process is amazing. THIS is where the learning happens. #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

It's amazing what students can do with a random apple, squirt bottle and plastic trophy they find in the storage room. Today's word prompt- light. #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

Digital painting success! A great group of final products by this talented group. #rndmediaarts @reginotredame

It's photography practice week! Our word prompt-COLOUR. I love seeing the creative interpretations. @reginotredame #rndmediaarts

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

RND Media Arts student, Angel Wright created this amazing digital painting this past weekend for his class project. It's theme just happened to correspond beautifully with Valentine's Day today! @reginotredame

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

Peer feedback and editing today in Gr. 12 Media Arts. These senior artists are brewing up some fabulous digital paintings! Can’t wait to share the final products! @RegiNotreDame

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

We may be learning at home, but we still manage to get outside! A grade 11 RND Media Arts student took over 500 photos around Kingston to create this stunning Photomosaic for his final project. @RegiNotreDame @cityofkingston

Students are turning the ordinary into extraordinary in Octo 8 Media Arts (art by Shoei- Gr. 11 RND student) @RegiNotreDame

[Mrs. Macpherson @macphersonkat]

Photo or painting? Gr. 11 RND Media Arts students study colour, value and form and learn to paint digitally for the first time on Photoshop by observing found objects around the house. Amazing job by these digital artists! @RegiNotreDame @alcdsb

Hello @alcdsb teachers - Brightspace Portfolio is currently down across much of the province - a solution is being worked on as we speak. Hold tight!
Thanks folks!
