Hey Grade 7s,
By request, I have posted a PDF version of the game “What is This Cat’s Name?” below! Feel free to play with your friends or family at home.
Have fun!
As we continue exploring our identities as artists, we have been discussing what makes someone an ‘artist’. We brainstormed whether or not an animal could be classified as an ‘artist’ or not! According to our discussions, an artist means someone who: shows creativity, produces some type of art (painting, sculpture, writing, song, etc.), improves their skills, does art as a job or hobby. According to our definition, would the dog in the video (below) be considered an artist? What do you think?
Hi Grade 7s! A few important reminders for this week:
-Young People’s Concert is taking place this Friday. Our bus leaves by 9:00AM. Please arrive to school on time or early! Any students who are late should check in at the office to be assigned as a leader to a primary classroom.
-Band will still take place on Friday, but in the afternoon instead
-Treat sales continue each Wednesday. Help raise some money for your dinner and dance!
-Please complete your Term 1 surveys on Teams ASAP
-Clay part 2 will be happening on December 5th. Dress appropriately (the glaze can stain clothing)
–Out of My Mind film versus novel sheets are due Friday
Thanks for all of your hard work so far this week!
Did you know that some historians have found evidence that sculpture as an art form has been around since 25000 BCE? Today, we had the privilege of learning the fundamentals of clay and sculpture from our artist in residence. Our classes began creating a clay model of hominid species of their choice. Later, we will glaze them and reflect on our experience. Take a look at some of our progress photos below:
