Assignment #2: 9 Artist Trading Cards (marks 20) We started this assignment before the break as an in-between assignment and so I think it is a great project to continue at home.

Photo: Avarie Dennis Assignment #3:  We are in a time where we all have to pull together and dig deep into our hearts to understand others and to have compassion for the difficulties that some people may be going through. In this assignment you are going to create a heart somewhere in your art, or the entire piece can be a heart. You may want to even give your art away to show gratitude or love for someone who might currently need some support. This assignment is wide open to work in any medium with any art materials you might have at home. I would like to create either a video or virtual art gallery of our HEART ART to share on this blog. Take a good quality photo of your creation. This assignment can be sent to me through TEAMS or by email to lisa.chase@sd71.bc.ca. Due: Friday May 15 Marks 20.
