Art Exhibitions
I have organized and curated large-scale primary school art exhibitions, both on campus and online, creating opportunities for students to share their work with authentic audiences and celebrate their development as young artists. These exhibitions highlight the range of techniques, ideas, and individual perspectives explored throughout the art program.
Selected Projects:
Kindergarten: Who We Are Portrait Unit
Students explored portraiture by observing facial features, experimenting with line, shape, and color, and discovering ways to represent themselves through art. Using a range of materials, they developed their drawing skills and made individual choices to create portraits that reflect their emerging artistic abilities and unique perspectives.
Grade 1: Landscape Unit
Students explored how artists use line, shape, color, and texture to represent places and environments. Through drawing, painting, and experimenting with different materials, they developed their own landscape compositions, making individual choices about the colors, details, and ways they wanted to represent the world around them.
Grade 2: PYP Unit: Who We Are
In this transdisciplinary unit, G2 students developed short statements about themselves that would tell their classmates a little bit about themselves. In art, students learned about abstract backgrounds and full body self-portraits.
Grade 3: Symbols Unit
Students explored how symbols communicate ideas, identities, and meaning across different cultures and contexts. They developed their own visual symbols and experimented with Styrofoam printmaking, watercolor, and oil pastels to create individual artworks.
Grade 4: Cultural Masks Unit
As part of an inquiry into culture and identity, students investigated the forms, materials, and meanings of masks from different cultural contexts. They used this research to inform their own mask designs, experimenting with cardboard construction, layering, and surface decoration. The completed works were shared in a school exhibition for International Day.
Grade 5: Stand Alone Art Unit: Oil Pastels
In this stand alone art unit, Grade 5 art students explored the use of oil pastels. They looked at how this medium has been use by famous artists, how they can be used effectively, and what techniques can be used to create interesting art pieces.
