Abstract Seascapes

The grades 3 and 4 have created abstract seascapes using tape and acrylic paint. The results are quite lovely! Art classes are an important part of the curriculum because it teaches students to experiment with materials, express themselves, clean up after themselves, reflect on their work, appreciate beauty and see another point of view, just to mention a few.

 What is winter without snowman?
As a class we recited the verse "Snowman, snowman what do you see? I see a yellow scarf looking at me." Children used the dressing props to repeat the verse using all the winter dressing apparel items.
