Very abstract and invested efforts! We formed smaller groups to collaborate on painting. We discussed abstraction and 'Halloween' ideas.
We planned for a busy Halloween Studio that included facepainting. Everyone worked well independently and inventively!!
I was recently talking with some teachers about a watercolour masking project they enjoyed doing with an artist in their classroom, which made me think that framing through masking while thinking about a 'where' might connect nicely to 'how' we are thinking about found objects that are animals and plastic.
We each took on the challenge differently: making connections through shadow tracings, drawing from life, through colour, and enjoying the surprise when we removed our masks, or left our mask on and re-painted our "frames" while working artfully back into your work. We thought about where, in abstract and real ways, we might find our animal creations as a prompt. Busy afternoon!

All this while painting our faces for the Trick-or-Treating we like to do each year:) - (Face pics will be posted on my website: www.freshorange.ca/ACParents once I set up a password protected page)~thx.
Happy Haunting!
