Postcards of Lebanon (click to view photos)

• Picture perfect postcards were made by the grade 6 learners. They applied the basic elements of perspective to their drawings. They learnt that depending on where an item is placed, either above or below the horizon line, it will have a different slant to the roof. The landscapes were also discussed and trees were placed either upclose and large on the postcards, or smaller and farther away. They used overlapping to make the picture 3D looking as well. Finally, colored markers and colored pencils were used to fill in the drawings and achieve the light and dark tones.

Cityscapes and Printing Plates (click to view photos)

• These cityscapes were created by the grade 6 learners using a printing technique which required making a "Printing Plate". Learners used 20x30cm pieces of white styrofoam to make their printing plates. First they drew very simplified cityscapes on the styrofoam and then used blunt tools such as plastic knives and bbq sticks to carve out their designs. Then they used paints and rolling pins to ink their plates and pull their prints. They were amazed to see the impressions which were in mirror to their designs and that they could make as many prints as they wanted from one plate.

Independence day Art Project (click to view photos)

• Grade 6 learners incorporated the elements of the Lebanese Flag and the school theme of Heartistic Metanoia as well as the beauty of Lebanon and its urban flair to create these fun and lively artworks to celebrate Independance Day. They began with an urban approach to writing Lebanon while substituting the beautiful Cedar tree for the letter "A" in Lebanon. They also added strips of red hearts to reflect the red of the lebanese flag. They each put their own heart into their artwork to make it special.

Landscape Paintings (click to view photos)

• The theme for the grade 6 painting project was taken from their Arabic class, "My Green Lebanon". The learners applied perspective and color mixing to draw and paint these beautiful landscapes. They raised the horizon lines in order to show a greater depth of field and give them the area to paint their mountains, trees, gardens, orchards, fields, houses, barns, farms, cows, streets, people, lakes and rivers... all in all whatever beautiful things came to mind were put into their paintings.
