In Grade 1 we learned how to make a printing template and we printed some lovely grazing horses.
Me pancake
Grade 1 had lots of fun trying out rolling the clay, cutting and gluing ears, noses, mouth, ears, eyes and hair. We learned funny vocabulary like Schlika and Kiln. We painted it, fired it and voila!
Clay self-portraits in grade 4
This was a lovely clay project that brought along lots of learning and joy. All our sculptures were hollowed, painted and fired and not a single one broke. Well done!
Spring is time for still lifes
We researched vitamins and minerals in connection to our unit of inquiry ‘healthy choices’. In the end we decided not to take it too serious and just make a bit of veggie jokes where a tomato driven by a car becomes a ketchup and a banana can and will not return because it is after all really not a boomerang. It was real fun and the works are beautiful.
Pop art in grade 3
In connection to our Unit of inquiry ‘Market places’ we learned about Pop Art. We painted mass produced candies.
And if you are by any chance coming from Yugoslavia you will know more than one.
Thermal painting
In connection to our Unit of inquiry, Sharing the planet with energy at our goal, we spoke about energy of our bodies. We researched how the cool and warm parts of our bodies transfer it’s heath in colours on a thermal photography. Then we painted our heath and our coolness.
You can guess which colours represent which.
This was also the first time we tried live drawing at our class and that part was the most exciting. Especially who and when is going to pose.

Celebrations around the world
Grade 1 spoke about celebrations and customs around the world: New Years Eve, Christmas, 1st of May, Hanukkah, Women’s day, Diwali, Carnival, Day of the dead, Halloween, St.Lucia.
We spoke about gathering of people and families and why these days are so important.
Beautiful aquarel works are presenting the excitement.
Greek mythology in Stop-motion
After a bit of work we are proud to show our stop-motion movies!
Our topic was Greek mythology so don’t get scared – we are not violent people! – we are only presenting the stories.
Our movies are a product of collaboration within art and music class. If you happen to have a bag of popcorn on your hands you can enjoy them with all your senses. And we hope you do!
Balance in art
After building a city focused on rhythm and balance in art, reaching them with composition, form, size and colour, we now researched the world of mixing colours using a collage technique.
Using cardboard shapes this becomes very easy and playful. Everything is open to experiment. Everything can be undone and redone. Slight change of a direction of the yellow shape can make a whole of a difference.
