Arts Collective Update

Spring is here and the Arts Collective is as busy as ever….

We are currently working on two in house projects:

All Grade 8 Graffiti/Urban Art Mural Project With Artists Cris Ciric and Taya Kozak-Goebel

After a workshop on street art, character drawing and stencil making, the students will each design their own 12 X 16 inch design. They will each then stencil their design 3-4 times in the stairwell. Together the stencil paintings will form one large mural encompassing 2 floors of the senior stairwell. This is a chance for all of the Grade 8s to leave a colourful, lasting legacy at Fern!

Currasco's 2 grade 6 classes - Modern Art Decoupage Project With Artists Val Reinis and Taya Kozak-Goebel

Each class will design and decoupage 2 modern chairs using book illustrations. If you have any old illustrated books or comic books that you would like to donate, please drop them off in the office by April 23rd. These modern masterpieces will be auctioned off at the Spring Fling - don't miss out!

Thursday, May 2:
