The theme for our grade seven (G7) last semester was storytelling. Students began the semester making artworks that told a personal story. When planning what to do next, we thought, “How about telling someone else’s story?” So, we reached out to the grade three (G3) teachers and invited them to collaborate with us. They were excited and immediately agreed to the idea of having the G7 students bring G3 stories to life!
Art teachers motivate students to explore the powers of the digital age in a variety of lessons that focus on movement, film, animation, and illusion. Students use animation apps to create original characters and short videos, design and construct brightly lit “moving pictures” from spinning image panels, assemble sculptures that suggest movement and harmony, and more.
