A Colourful Canada in the Art Gallery Stop by the E. Boyd & H. Burke Gallery to take in the dynamic display of Grade 5 work, titled “Our Canada”. This colourful mixed media display gives life to the students’ interpretations of their Unit of Inquiry, “Where we are in Place and Time” and will be showing until February 28th. This Unit was “an inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationship between and the inter-connectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global perspectives.” To show what immigration and Canada mean to them, the students created stunning acrylic on canvas paintings, sketched landscapes, and put their thoughts on paper in various poetic forms. This large display includes student reflection and artists’ statements detailing their inspirations, as well as books from the Library that complement their investigations. It is only appropriate that the “Our Canada” installation is as diverse and colourful as our school, and, of course, our country. - Ms. Carolyn Sapach, Advancement
