Winter in the Art room

I  am quite shocked to see that it has been 2 months since I posted anything here. The grade 4's have been drawing a still life .The grade 5's working on a grid drawing of either a lion or a giraffe.
This has proved quite a challenge. The grade 6's  are working on a clay bust and the grade 7's have made coiled pots. Quite a busy time.

The grade 4's have completed their sun and moon oil pastel drawings using warm and cool colours. Congratulations to Lisa Strauss 4D for her stunning work. Sorry it is on its side!

So proud of the grade 6's who put so much effort into their portrait drawings.
