Last night Kingsley and I briefly attended the opening of the annual art fair at school. It was wonderful to see the extent, variation and depth of art created by all students from 3 year old to 12 years in age. Because of the nature of their International Baccalaureate PYP program there was a lot of emphasis on integration of the units of enquiry and a collaborative approach in the art curriculum. Kingsley had a charcoal etching of a bug on a leaf and her tree sculpture on show as well has her contribution to the joint work pictured below.
It is an interpretation of the new adventure garden and dry creek bed at school which the children helped plant and install. The inhabitants are imaginary creatures the children invented and wrote poems about. It was presented on a transparent background and in real life is quite impressive with the detail and definitions.
