the Immaculate Conception School Vancouver,
Canada.
"An ArtSmart Project"
|
Thanks to the project coordinator Rowena Taylor, and many teachers including
teacher Meika Wizinsky and Joe the Gr. 7 teacher.
|
|
This project increased the appreciation of art and culture. The Kindergarten classes
had storytelling and made Rainforest Animals Paintings, Angel Paintings,
a paper Rainforest Mural, Extraordinary Friend puppets and Picture Books. Curriculum areas
of Art, Language Art, Drama, Movement and Music were combined in activity follow-up |
|
Since the project focused on creativity and educating
children about the enviroment, Della combined "Dodoland" and "Magical Earth".
Dodoland is a place to find creativity and Magical Earth
Secrets is a book and Activity Guide to learn about
the Environment.Painting was done large and small. Activities were done individually and shared. |
|
Della worked with the Kindergarten clases on creating their Angels to help
and protect the Earth.The children enjoyed being creative and knowing they could make a difference. |
A parent at the school,Susan Mclennan, co-authored a book with Della called "Out of
the Ordinary Extraordinary Friends. The children made finger puppets with Susan. |
| Students in the Gr 7 class made picture books with Della of their own imaginary places.
They wrote some fabulous stories and illustrated them. |
| They had a final day in the library where the work was displayed for the
parents and community to share. |
| The older students read and showed their books to the younger students. |
| The Love and Protect the Earth Celebration was enjoyed by the artist
and the teachers, students and parents.
|
Della wants to thank everyone that helped so much
in making this a wonderful celebration. The biggest hugs go to the children. May you always have your
Dream Angels nearby!. |
