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.
