Miss Rens Visits

We have begun a unit on How We Express Ourselves. In particular, we want to see how The Arts connect people. Grade 4M were very lucky to have Miss Rens from Grade 1 come to talk to them about drawing what you see and having fun with it. She is an artist who loves to draw nearly every day of her life. She carries a sketching journal where ever she goes.

Here is Miss Rens showing her own sketch notebook. She takes it everywhere she goes to document her life in sketches and writing. Of course, she's very good at it!

Write your name "in lights". Consider the lines and spaces when you draw.

We watched a video about drawing cartoon faces and tried it for oursleves.

One table is busy at work with their sketching. - Keaton, Marcelo, Marc and Juan.

Using a copy of the video to add more detail.

Hunderwasse is a great inspiration with his colourful painting and his architecture.

Marc and Juan watch and draw.

Miss Rens inspires the group with her own drawings. Hendry is most attentive. He gave a very nice formal thank you to Miss Rens when she finished.

Paying attention and asking questions - Intan, Shereen, Regina and Arneta.

This is how colour can be added. Not all of it needs to be coloured fully. Leave some patches of white.

Angela is getting ready to colour.

The whole class is very involved in "The Arts."

Three wise men?

Watching the cartooning video.
