This week, our Grade 1-3 “Drawing and Painting” class was inspired by the quirky, whimsical murals of Toronto-based artist and illustrator Emily May Rose. Emily is famous for her mischievous raccoon characters and her art can be found on walls, fences, and Bell-boxes all around the city. For this project, our artists used popsicle sticks, cardboard, plasticine, acrylic paint and paint markers to create our own mini versions of an raccoon mural. These were made by Grade 3 artists Mariner P and Luke Z. Thank you for inspiring us, !
