Learning Through the Arts!

Today we had our first of three visits with our new friend Lynne Mulvihill. Lynne is an architect and came to help us build 3D maps of Canada. She taught us how to draw Canada, free-hand, and then gave us materials to represent the different geographical regions.  Over the next two classes we will be adding homes to the map that represent traditional Indigenous homes (different homes from different regions), and weather systems as well.  We can't wait to see how they turn out!
Rocks to represent the Rockies
Adding parsley to represent short grass of the interior and raffia to represent the prairie grasslands
Placing little trees and red soil to represent the eastern woodlands
Adding small rocks and soil to represent the western subarctic
1st class completed!
