Beyond the brush!

Grade 8 students have worked on alternative painting methods in their Art class.

Pendulum painting, paint dripping, blind painting and upside-down painting are some ways of deconstructing basic painting techniques to discover alternative ways of creating art.

The objective of this class was to change the conventional perspectives to take risks and develope creativity.

They work everyday on their sketchbook, a tool they use to take ownership of their learning, to creatively explore personal interests and to develop their own style.

Through the IB methodology Arts engage students in creative processes through which they explore and experiment in a continual cycle of action and reflection.
