Hello Everyone,
The students had a great discussion today about art. We looked at art from Saskatchewan artists and talked about a lot of things, including appreciating art, finding different meaning in abstract art, how art can reflect where a person is from or where they make the art, different media used in art, and more.
I am attaching links to the Saskatchewan Arts Board website, which has an online exhibition showing the work of Saskatchewan artists.
I wanted to show you this piece in particular -- entitled Rainbow Sentinels and Jerry Didur -- because Dayton noticed that this artist used an increasing pattern.
Great observation Dayton and way to connect to what we have been learning.
Speaking of patterns, I also wanted to share what we worked on today in Math today (Math is such an easy subject to share with you because of all of the hands on things we get to do).
The students coloured shapes then began assembling them into patterns. For their assessment (assessment is how I make sure they understand what we have discussed) they needed to identify the core.

This picture was created by Hanna. She not only identified the core of her patterns but also labeled them using the ABC system we talked about in earlier blogs.
Great work Hannah and thanks for sharing.
Our next assignment will be for the students to create patterns that change more than one attribute (we will be aiming for 3 or more). We learned this week that an attribute is how we describe something. Hannah's patterns have two main attributes that are changing: colour and shape. For example, the core of her first pattern can be described as:
yellow, orange
or
hexagon, square
