Here you can see some of the projects we have done during this past wild times! We were working online for at least 6 months! Today was set up day in the school, first day (without students) first week of 2020-2021. I am really looking forward to see the students! In the meantime you can enjoy some of the work from last academic year.

Once a year, our art classroom transforms into a pottery studio, complete with beautiful pottery wheels. For one exciting week, students from all grades get the chance to sit at these wheels and create their own pots. It's a time for them to explore the tactile pleasure of shaping clay, to learn the delicate balance of pressure and movement.
This pottery week is definitely one of the highlights of the year. The students eagerly anticipate it, buzzing with ideas about what they want to create. It's a fantastic opportunity for them to not only learn a new skill but also to express their creativity in a different medium. The pottery wheels bring a unique energy to the classroom, encouraging students to experiment, to play, and to learn from the inevitable mishaps that come with the art of pottery. As they work on their pots, students discover the patience and persistence required to create something beautiful from scratch. They learn the importance of attention to detail and the value of seeing a project through from start to finish. And at the end of the week, they have their own handcrafted pot to keep—a tangible reminder of their creativity and hard work. We also learn something very important, to dont get too attached to something, just because chances that some pots break during the drying or the firing process are very real. It's truly amazing to witness the students' growth and to see the pride in their eyes as they hold their finished pots. The pottery week is much more than just a break from the regular curriculum—it's a cherished tradition that nurtures the artistic spirit of our students. There are many ways to show the oil crayon resistance to water. This time they chose one animal to do underwater. Depending the brand of oil crayons the resistance will work better or worse. My advice is to test them in advance so you won't get any surprise.
Our Grades 1 were talking about how we tint and shade a colour. After discussion we ended up making these yummmmy 5 and 6 scoops ice creams!!
Our MSB students have been invited to a contest about how to save the environment. The contest is organized by LittleStar Magazine and will be by the end of October.

Our first graders have been talking about the differences between landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes. After our class discussion they made these beautiful artwork.
Picture: Aston Technique: Watercolour One of the most expected weeks of the year! All the grades have the chance to experience to work with clay in a clay wheel. Depending on the grade, the difficulty level is higher or lower. All the students from reception until Grade 6 get to work with the wheel. We have been discussing with our first graders about what is Still Life. After lively discussion, a fruit set up was displayed. We put two big tables together and I set up a beautiful, fresh and yummy bunch of fruits in the middle. The whole classroom is around the tables which gives to each student a different view. This time we used soft pastels.
