The part that’s art

We asked teachers to show some of the art their students have created this year

Patricia Gagnon

It was a collaborative project. Each student in the class contributed a variety of dots which we glued onto the heart shape.

Established to celebrate creativity, ­courage and collaboration, the celebration is easily one of the most fun days of the year! Celebrated by both children and adults, International Dot Day is a day to connect, collaborate and create. It’s also a great day to foster self-expression.

Lara Ledger

I am a pretty lucky teacher to teach my own daughter, who has an art passion.

Crystal Quaschnick

The high school Art 10 students were designing masks and working with plaster to build them and their extensions!

Jodie Goruk

[This student] was inspired by the shadows coming across her desk and created a piece of art ­without any direction from me or her classmates.

Fan Hildisheim

Our students were learning about the Chinese Mid-­Autumn Festival (we are a ­Mandarin ­bilingual school).

Lori Willier

This cursive trading card was part of learning cursive writing and also learning about “line” in visual art.

Camille Haggar

One-point perspective with shading.

Samia Drisdelle

This is a Grade 8/9 photography weaving project called “Behind the Mask.” Students captured two portraits, one with and one without a mask. In their artist statements, they discussed the mask as a symbol for student life before and after the pandemic.
