Grade 3/4: Mandala Stones
A 'mandala' is a term taking from Hinduism and Buddhism, that represents the universe. It also means circle and/or geometric designs, and these 'mandala' designs have occurred throughout history - Christian churches, Aztecs and even crop circles. The Mandala design has also fascinated psychologists throughout the years, linking your Mandala design to your self, ego and personality. The design of a Mandala usually has a central point, and the design gravitates outward in a geometric pattern. There is no beginning and there is no end, so no matter how you turn the pattern it always looks the same. The mandala design is a design that allows you to relax, mediate or pray, by making repetitive motions to relax the brain. Unfortunately, students took theirs home, but this is the idea:
EPS Options: Community Quilt Textile Collage
Created by students from kindergarten to grade 6, these beautiful textiles pieces represent what makes up our amazing community of Elbow Park.
Grade 1/2: Fall Leaves with the Color Wheel
Students have been learning about the colour wheel and how to mix primary colours to make secondary and tertiary colours! For these artworks, students used warm and cool colours to create a fall-themed composition. Students could sketch their own leaves or making prints of leaves. Students could choose between sketching their own leaves or making prints of leaves by rolling on paint and pressing leaves down. They used real samples of leaves to look at the shape and texture while sketching. Printmaking was hard! Students rolled paint on their leaf with a brayer, then pressed or rolled their leaf onto the paper. It was important to make sure the background was dry before making the leaf prints.

Grade 1/2: Painting to the Song: "William Tell Overture"
These students worked very hard to develop and progress the concept of abstract painting while listening to music. In the William Tell Overture there are 4 different parts to the song, and each painting represents 1 of these parts! Students also accompanied their paintings with a variety of written pieces. All 3 put together makes for an amazing effect! I am very proud of these students for their accomplishments.
