Welcome to the 3rd Grader’s PPT art exhibition! Each Grade in Primary has an average of 15 art classes per school year thus most of the projects that you will see

took an average of 4 art periods. This enables the children to better understand the notion and to become more

familiar with the concepts and technique (s) being used. These art projects can also be seen as a process of

discovery, rather than just a finished product.

As an art teacher, my role is to not only introduce the language of art (through the 5 elements of design) but to

also encourage skills that promote self development in general through reflection, observation, concentration,

imagination, problem solving, and improvisation (the happy accident)!

One can only hope that the children take these experiences out of the art room to see the world with new

eyes.

I hope you enjoy the show!Lisa Demangeat
