Jack-o’-Lanterns

Students used tracers to copy and cut out the main pieces. They learned to accordion fold for the arms and legs. They then made their own unique faces with either paper or felt markers. They are just hanging around … 🎃

The students used leaves and unwrapped waxed crayons to explore the six elements of art – colour, texture, value, line, shape, and form.

Still Life – “Pommes” – in the style of Paul Cezanne

We read a story by Laurence Anholt called, “Cezanne and the Apple Boy” and learned a bit about Paul Cezanne’s life. Students then used oil pastels to re-create one of his paintings through a directed drawing lesson.
