April Outings

An Artful Trip to the Museum

Last week, 6G and  6B went to the Muse des Beaux Arts du Quebec. The title of the exhibit was Les Placticiens. The paintings were made by artists such as Tousignant. They were made in 1950 to 1960. The works of art were mostly  geometric shapes, strips of different bright concentric circles. There were also other paintings but with more dark colors and curved lines. There was one with plenty of shapes but one side was straight sided figures and the other curved lines. We noticed the primary and secondary colors, complementary colors, and warm and cool colors.  Some paintings created an effect of optical illusion. After the tour, we made a piece of art with three colours but only squares.

6B also went swimming  at the Y on Thursday, April 18 th. It was splashing fun!
