Unlocking Creativity: Secondary Students Earn Art Credits through Hands-On Art Projects with the Art Gallery of Sudbury

Our secondary students are embarking on an incredible journey of creativity and learning, thanks to our partnership with the Art Gallery of Sudbury!

Every second week, we’re lucky to have Sarah from the Art Gallery of Sudbury visit our school, bringing experiential learning and hands-on art projects right to our classrooms.

What’s even more amazing is that ALL participating students will earn an art credit for their efforts! But it’s not just about the credits – it’s about exploring the world of art…its rich history and diverse forms and mediums.

This week, our students learned about the fascinating history of “pinch pots.” Did you know that pinch pots date back thousands of years? They were used by ancient civilizations for various purposes, from storage to cooking, and even as ritual objects. Creating these small, hand-pinched vessels connects us to an art form with a history as impressive as its simplicity.

Let’s celebrate the beauty of art and the power of experiential learning. Keep an eye out for updates, and join us on this artistic journey!
