Gr. 9 Aboriginal Art

Aboriginal Art is the theme of the Gr. 9 Visual Art course this year.  Recently, the Gr. 9’s were lucky enough to have a visit from two Aboriginal elders Tammy and Bernard.  The students participated in a drumming circle and learned about the spiritual traditions of Aboriginal culture.

Grade 10/11 Visual Arts – Sculptures

The Grade 10 and 11 Visual Arts classes get a little messy with their new pieces. The class was to make a sculpture from clay. Many of the students decided to create a very natural sculpture, like a branch, a clam, or a crab. Other students decided to make sculptures that made use of positive and negative space, leaving holes in their sculptures. Some, have even decided to make their sculpture practical by creating a ring holder, a key rack and even a candle holder. It is great to see the amount of diversity in the work and the amount of detail that goes into the pieces.

Grade 11 Visual Art – Watercolour Pieces

Grade 11 Students used pen on watercolour paper to create these beautiful images using detailed linework. Watercolour crayons were then used to add colour and washes to the work.   The results are astounding.  Many of these pieces are off to the Hotel Dieu Student Art Gallery!

Panthers In The Wild

Nature is inspiring the next generation of panthers at RND. The grade 9 students in Mrs. Latour’s Grade 9 art class enjoyed the last of the warm weather. They were instructed to find a piece of nature that inspired them and sketch it. The class worked diligently out in the sunshine and created some amazing drawings.
