Does this assignment make you want to scream?  Good, it'll help you remember it!  While you're screaming, yell out all the details:  artist, art period, materials... you get the idea. Here are a few questions to get you started on your blog post for this week: Which art period does this artwork belong to?  Why? Why is he screaming? Why is this painting successful? Why do you think the artist created art like this? (base your opinion on facts about the artist) Find the BEST parody of The Scream .  Best parody gets a prize! :) Feel free to find some great material about The Scream by clicking on the 'details' tab on Google Art Project.

Our one-week Lego competition was so much fun!  Grade 10 students tried their best to include as many Gothic architectural features as possible in their buildings, so the judges had their work cut out for them as they tried to rank the winners! The entire grade 10 class would like to thank all who supported our 1-week event that helped us celebrate learning about architecture.  A special thank you to our judges who invested so much time making decisions, and also to our community sponsors who donated lovely prizes to help encourage student learning! There is an African proverb that states "It takes a village to raise a child".  Through the support of community members and businesses, students have been encouraged and directed to challenge their skills in school.  A sincere thank you to the organizations that donated prizes to our class competition.  We hope that, by sharing your efforts, others migh...

I have my grade 10 students to thank for a great idea:  LEGO ARCHITECTURE! We've been taking a look at Gothic architecture, and I had asked the class how they thought they'd like to demonstrate what they've learned.  For a short time, we had considered a visual timeline and then we thought about trying Minecraft  to build virtual cathedrals.  The timeline seemed a bit boring, and we're still ironing out the hiccups that come with new programs on school computers. While discussing our options, some students began trying to convince me to use Lego  in the class because it's so much fun.  They talked about how many Lego pieces they still had at home and how, if they had the chance to create their own buildings in class, they could incorporate the Gothic architectural features we were learning about. Why not? This took a bit of planning (as we slowly realized that our structures would need more Lego pieces than we had), but as we asked our friends and f...
