G11 students working on acrylic portraits using foreshortened poses! The theme for this painting is “Living Manifestations”.

G9 @DSC_EDU students are mixing Middle Ages art styles with traditional/ancient art from around Asia. Free choice material to morph these styles together! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So… do they even need a teacher? First still life setup and no direct instruction yet. This is what I got! 🤯👏🏻💯 Can’t wait to see what happens with some fine-tuning!

G11s are starting their Still Life Unit learning about proportion and scale. Check out these visual notes! Great for applying and grouping new information in a visual way. Big fan!

Back at it in the visual arts room with some colour diffusing paper! 💪🏻🤩

Every year my G12’s work through oil painting lessons, some of them using oils for the first time. Check out these beauties after a few practice runs!

“…model emotion-free mistake making.” @angeladuckw

Students should have the ability to try - and fail - on difficult tasks without associating a feeling such as shame or defeat.

Louder for the people at the back! 👏🏻

Give students time to explore what they could be passionate about. Finding a passion takes time and a range of experiences!

Another semester, another round of one of my favourite projects: Ink portraits! Backgrounds will be developed based on one of three topics that the class decided together; Social Life, Hunted and Watched, or Emotional Music.

I can’t even. These mural plans are out of this #AR world! I can’t wait to see them start going up on our school walls. Thanks for the tech skills @mrwaller15 and @DustinOrser! You made learning @ArtiviveApp easy!

Proud teacher moment 👏🏻 Also, my students absolutely schooled me with their animation abilities! 😂🤩 More to come soon!

[Mr. Waller @mrwaller15]

Absolutely amazed by @MsLTodd 's Grade 12 Visual Arts student creative work! These school-celebrating murals will be painted in the hallways of @DSC_EDU and the #Ar animations will play in @ArtiviveApp. Thanks @DustinOrser for the integration support!

[Lindsay Todd @MsLTodd]

The number one tip I share with students when using watercolour paint for the first time is to enjoy the fluidity and unpredictability. Let go of control!

G10’s practicing ink medium and grid portraits! I always love this challenging project and the results that come from the exploration process! ⭐️

Students have been learning a lot of art history this unit from all around the world. Check out this student-made stained-glass/kaleidoscope art with stylised images of the Great Wall of China around the outside! So neat!

Another resin pour for grade 9 #visualart class! Inspired by ukiyo-e artist Hokusai and the effects of stained glass. Check out how those blue stones look like water drops!

Give students choice; they will amaze you.

This student wanted to use resin to make a work inspired by rose windows and jade textures. We both learned a lot with this new material!

Anyone who has ever tried #oilpainting knows it is a challenging yet rich and rewarding medium. G12s are learning alla prima techniques and check out the results so far! Amazing! @DSC_EDU #art #visualarts #artsedu #painting #teaching
