What I really loved about this year's exhibit was the openness of the exhibit, TV screens showcasing all our technology use, and most importantly the VARIETY of people actually participating. So many parents were creating next to their children, which... Continue Reading →

The MS/HS ART PARTY was a HUGE success this year. As always it was a great deal of planning and organizing but the event is always so worth it. This year I tried to get my students even more involved by having them complete behind the scenes tasks. Since all MS students run workshops for... Continue Reading →
IMAGINE - RANDOM INPUT The students began the unit by exploring Surrealist idea generation techniques, such as random input. Words and objects were combined randomly to create unique ideas. This technique was developed further with individual and collaborative brainstorming. At this point it is about quantity, not quality. The students then shared their best ideas... Continue Reading →
We have just finished quarter 2, and what an amazing quarter it has been. This course is called "Exploratory Art" so previously, my students explored painting, clay, and digital art, all in 8 weeks. They created a new project every two classes. Since 8 weeks is too quick to build skills, I ran this class... Continue Reading →

The process of these sculptures can be seen in previous posts. This is a celebration and showcase of the students hard work as this unit draws to an end. It has been a 12-14 week journey and still remains to be one of the best units I have taught! When their chairs are complete the... Continue Reading →

In the HS gym we had 25 workshops run by MS/ HS students which were designed for ES students, in particular. The idea was to have everyone... Continue Reading →
On the 20th of May we had our FIRST Art Party and Exhibit at SSIS. All of my grade 6,7 and 8 students ran workshops for the entire SSIS community. For a first event it was very well supported. Everything was on display from all year from the Mandala umbrellas to the book sculptures. We... Continue Reading →
This is the completed painting from the art party. I decided to add a small collage of photos so that it will be a wonderful memory of the 2014 event. I will also be hanging the painting created by Jennifer Goss and the students at the Dec 2013 ART Party. It would be brilliant to have... Continue Reading →
The art party was a HUGE success, the best one yet. Mainly because I moved it inside this time which allowed us to be in air conditioning and created an awesome art walk. The art was displayed outside, inside, in the corridor and upstairs in three rooms. The setting created quite an "arty" maze. The... Continue Reading →
This time I had the grade 8,9 and 10 art students running workshops for younger students and adults. This proved to be very, very popular as the attendance was an absolute record for any exhibition we have held over the last couple of years (in fact in my entire teaching career). The younger students listened... Continue Reading →
