Ms. Brenna’s Artists Alley
Welcome back to Ms. Brenna’s Artists Alley!
January has been busy and productive here in the Art Room! The grade 1/2 students are the feature in this month’s Artist Alley with their stunning “Sometimes I feel like a…” animal relief Lego prints (try saying that five times fast!). As you can see in the photos, they are beautiful and very creative. I am thrilled with all the planning, thought and enthusiasm you all have put into this project. These students ran a wonderful print making studio in the classroom and can tell you all the steps in the printing process.
The grade 2/3’s are also enjoying some print studio time as they make creative fruit and vegetable prints. With an abundance of pre planning we set aside one full morning/afternoon for these classes to use real fruits and vegetables as printing tools to make unusual and creative printed monoprint pictures. Speaking of Monoprints the grade 3/4’s have been busy creating abstract layered monoprints to create colourful “images in the clouds”. The grade 4/5’s are starting new multi-cultural dye-based projects as we enter February. Room 20 is starting to design Pysanka Ukrainian styled eggs, which use wax resist to create multi-coloured dyed eggs, while Room 19 is about to start planning a new dye-based project (but it’s a secret they don’t know what it is yet). Meanwhile the grade 5/6 students all work away on their printing. With 4 silkscreens running full time each class, we are making slow but gradual process of multilayered completely unique silkscreen prints both on paper and on t-shirts! Hopefully we can finish all of these up by sprint break!
I want to give a big shoutout to all of you students who are keeping warm and keeping busy here in the Art Room, it has been such a fun and productive year so far already! Mulvey students will have an art exhibit put up in the Super-Intendant’s Board Room for the months of February and March. I will highlight how professional all our students’ art looks on display next month in Ms. Brenna’s Artist Alley!
