Students from Frontenac Public School and First Avenue Public School converged on The Studio Gallery at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Faculty of Education Tuesday for the unveiling of the 210 square foot mural representing their neighbourhood. The project, titled My Magical Neighbourhood, includes contributions from Grade 4 students.

Led by Limestone District School Board카지노 게임 컬렉션s artist in residence Nancy Douglas, the project encouraged the students to look at their neighbourhood through a different lens.

카지노 게임 컬렉션This is a really wonderful experience for the students,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Douglas. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They hadn카지노 게임 컬렉션t seen the mural all together and mounted until today. It makes a huge impact on their lives with the public here, the media here and teachers and other students visiting the gallery.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Ms. Douglas tackled the project in different stages. The students first had to sketch their home. Then they had to write a fable or a story about their home and neighbourhood. Next, she took them on a walking tour of their neighbourhood to learn about their surroundings. Finally, the students got together, designed the mural and created each panel representing where they live.

The show runs weekdays from 11 am to 2 pm until Oct. 10.
