Most students think they’re “not good at art,” but I’ve learned over the years that confidence grows when students get the chance to experiment, try new materials, and explore different ways of creating.

On Friday, we focused on building that confidence! Students used tracing paper to capture the shapes of their artwork, then brought their pieces to life with watercolor.

It was all about trying something new, having fun with the process, and discovering that everyone can be an artist in their own way!

After a few false start to the school year I am finally back in the classroom, making art with Grade 8 students!

We’ve been playing with primary colors and watercolor paints, mixing, experimenting, and sometimes discovering that watercolors have a mind of their own!

I love giving students a little direction but lots of room to make their work their own. It’s amazing to see the colors they choose, the risks they take, and the talent that shines through in each piece.

So much creativity, so many surprises, and lots of reasons to smile

Our last 2025 project in the Grade 8 class. Upcycling old books and adding some bling.

Its heartwarming to hear students explain who they are going to give their angel to. "My mom!" "My Grandma."

Thank you Queen's Players for supporting the arts in the classroom.
