Soooo Excited!

I am so excited as this is my fourth year recieveing the Artsmart grant for my classroom and my third year working with Olivia Pacaud.   Mme Pacaud is a local artist in our area!

An old friend has returned!

Mme Pacaud had worked with me two years ago as well when some of the boys and girls from this class were in my grade 3 class.  The students were very excited to see Mme Pacaud and we heard in the hall “Yeah!  The Artlady is back!”

Ancient civilizations!

We are beginning our ancient civilization unit with local artist Olivia Pacaud.  She has been sharing with us information about the Ancient Greeks and all of their contributions to our modern day society.  In this first lesson we talk about the contributions to language, math and art.

In this first Art lesson, students created their own Greek inspired work based on Greek Mosaic tile work.  Mme Pacaud showed us many examples of this before we set off to work on our own.  I can’t wait to show you what the finished Art Gallery will look like!
