Art with Ms. Doyle

The conceptual focus for the grade 7 art curriculum is PLACE. To begin, students looked at landscapes and focused their first art works on the concept of "warm" and "cool" colour combinations. These drawings were done in oil pastels and are really quite vivid and well executed. Please take a look below at some of the student examples.

Portfolio Design This year we decided to make portfolios again as it is a great way to store and manage in progress art works. The portfolio design itself was viewed as the first assignment of the year and all students, grades 5 - 12 made one.  The criteria included:  1. Name is designed in BLOCK or Bubble letters 2. Design must include pattern 3. Design must include signs or symbols that represent the creator 4. And lastly, the design must include colour... It was a very open and freeing project to start off the year. See some of the in progress and finished designs below:
