Maala Nair who co-ordinates these school shows said the following:

“Our staff and members were so thrilled to see the amazing work of your students.  We were able to showcase them in time for our holiday celebrations  where members of the Profession, Council, staff and stakeholders got to see the incredible art pieces.  It was also very timely being the holiday season the theme resonated with everyone.  I received several emails asking me to convey their gratitude to your students for coming up  with such high quality artwork.”

This is great news knowing each of you helped raise awareness to this pressing issue through your artwork. Great work everyone 🙂

Happy New Year!

Welcome back from the break, everyone!

Gr 12 students Mathew and Barbod worked on their culminating project throughout the break, and managed to finish their documentary: The perspective of a new comer to Canada.

Why creative people sometimes make no sense

Do you ever feel like no one understands your unique or quirky thoughts? Here are some reasons why creative people are sometimes seen as ‘different’. (click on the picture for the link)

Student camera angle films

This is a great short film showing different camera angles and movements by Rob, featuring Chris! Great job!

Camera angles

Take a look at this video about different camera angle shots that Kate shared.

Surreal painted faces

Check out these surreal face paintings.  They are “inspired by two-dimensional posters, comics, pop art, paintings, pixelated images, and cartoon characters… This is a combination of interesting make-ups, studio photography experiments and careful retouching.” See the rest of the series here.

It definitely takes face painting and make up application to a whole new level! Also take a look at their black and white series here!

Dosconnect to connect

Do you have that one friend who is always glued to his or her phone? I’m sure we all know at least one person who is like this. Or maybe that person is you! I am guilty of this too sometimes~

Check out this short but powerful public service message from Thailand:

The quality of the video isn’t the best, but the message is meaningful. It reminds us that we need to take time to disconnect from our electronic devices, and remember to notice the people around us. I challenge you all to unplug this weekend and spend some time with your loved ones! Interact with people in person, have a real conversation, and just live life =)
