We were delighted to welcome back the talented artists from Qinghai province for another amazing event. This time, they taught an exceptional workshop focused on the art of butter sculptures, which was attended by both parents and teachers. It provided a wonderful opportunity for community members to get to know this unique art form. The artists passionately shared their expertise and knowledge, offering a hands-on experience in crafting these intricate sculptures. It was especially gratifying to hear them talk about the deep cultural significance and the rich traditions behind their art. Their stories and skills brought a piece of Qinghai's vibrant culture to life, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Every year, we get to roll out the artistic red carpet for guest artists, and this time around, we hit the jackpot with not one, not two, but THREE amazing Tibetan artists! They graced our school with a fantastic Thangka workshop that left students, parents, and teachers beaming with joy.
Before we even picked up a paintbrush, we delved into the wonders of Tibet and the mesmerizing world of Thangka. This art form is so incredibly relaxing; It's been used for centuries in meditation, it really works like a charm. Everyone loved the experience – parents, teachers, and, of course, our talented students. We enjoyed it so much that we're already clearing space in our calendar for next year, eagerly anticipating their return. 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.
After deep discussion about aboriginal art, its origings and its characteristics, Grades 4 made their very own aboriginal art piece. We played aboriginal music in the background which made the lesson quite special. |
