The Year End Show

So here it is folks, just in case you missed our year end show. It was our best show yet, a room full of amazing work you guys made.




And now to get a little closer...

Silhouette Paintings

Watercolour Pumpkins

Melted Wax Canvas

Weekly Sketchbooks

Artist Pinwheels

Fairy House Lanterns & Lantern Walk Storyboards

Creativity Takes Courage 



We had over 100 people come through and check out our art! Plus the newspaper stopped by and interviewed myself and 4 students. Some of the comments I heard were:

"Oh Wow! This is amazing!"

"Are you sure students made these?"

"This is great! I can't wait to see what you guys make next!"

You guys made me a very proud art teacher today! See you all again in the Fall!!

June 2 - Last Class

Well it's all over folks. Classes have ended for this year. Thank you to all my dedicated students this year. It was an honour to teach you. And you, your family and friends are all invited to stop by the Art Room to see what we have been up to this year.


And we even invited the Westlock News this time. Fingers crossed that they will join us too!


In our last class we finally got to figure out the phrase for the Art Room




It took about 7 minutes and only 1 hint to figure out that it spells:

Creativity takes Courage
