Shalom Families!
Children use A hundred languages to express themselves. Words, symbols, sounds, music, art, etc. It is through those languages we learn about the children and what is important to them. this week we started our 100 languages of Art unit. We've spent the week exploring different mediums of art, leaning about famous artists, and working on all of our colours! With our Reggio inspired approach we allow the child’s interests to direct their learning and art.
We had so many different amazing Artists' to choose from, but we were ultimately inspired most by Van Gogh's Sun flower painting, Claude Monte's Water Lillies, And a Freelance Artist who created beautiful melted crayon art. We worked over the course of two weeks contributing a little a day to present our version or these iconic art pieces.

We really took the time to dive into each of these Artists' story behind their art and the different emotions they chose to put into it. We listened to sad, classical, upbeat music to capture the exact emotions while recreating our pieces.
