Our class was inspired by the beautiful work of Canadian artist Denyse Thomasos. We made our own #Kindergarten interpretations of her piece “Urban Jewel” using forks 🎨#blackhistorymonth2023 @AndrewHunterES @anhk146 @SCDSBey @SCDSB_arts

The final station of the Winter Wonderland event was build a snow person ⛄️. The structure was made by students trained in the wood shop by @laurin_ryan. Ss then decorated them and gave them as gifts to family members 🤗. Happy Holidays Hawks! @AndrewHunterES @anhk146
