Art

In Art class we are going to be making 3 projects which are:

•   The Canada Day poster

•   Calligraphy/Decorative Poster

•   Story Comic Book

The Canada Day Posters we are making have the same concept as last year. On the Canada Day poster we have to draw 20 pictures that represent Canada (maple leaf, CN tower, beavers etc.) This poster (with our choice) will be entered into a contest, which is Canada wide. Hopefully, one of us wins.

For the decorative poster we are given a big piece of paper and we have the option to do the writing in calligraphy pen, or just do decorative writing. In the decorative poster we have to write for example a prayer, a poem, or a few lyrics from a song. Then after we sketched in pencil where we want our writing to be placed, we then start doing the decorative writing/calligraphy.

The last thing we were assigned to do was the, Story comic book. For the story comic book we have to create a comic or remake a comic from a book, the bible, or from reality. This comic book is similar to the one we did last year, from the Bible (mustard seed, 7 days of creation.)

The due dates for these assignments depend on us; most likely we should finish 2 before Christmas break and one assignment due next year.
