Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible for us to go to Arts Commons last week. Our program was designed to enrich our learning about the Acadian and Inuit cultures. We started our day with a lesson on Acadian dancing. There was a lot of stomping and twirling. In the afternoon, we impressed our instructor with our knowledge of the Canadian Arctic. We looked at examples of Art from Inuit artists and then used printmaking to create our own Arctic inspired Art. Here's what we did: First, we covered our page in water. Lots and lots of water! Second, we painted the Northern Lights all over our page. We added salt to make them sparkle! Third, we drew patterns on one side of a styrofoam container and an Inukshuk or animal on the other side. ![]() Then we used these images to make prints. We were shocked when our instructor asked us to rip the prints we had just made to create the landscape! Finally, we glued all our pieces together to create our colorful arctic art!
