Due to the wide range of ages and skill levels at Schole, some Grade 6 students may find this assignment a little too easy. Students wanting more of a challenge are invited to do art project for Grades 7-9 if that is preferable (found in the Resource Library).
Notes: Thank you for submitting Art Project #1 to Ms. Catherine. Kindly submit Art Project #2 by Friday, October 9.
Please contact Ms. Catherine with any questions, concerns, and student submissions at gchardy@telus.net
