Art and Wellness at Eriksdale School

Whether you're painting, sketching, or simply doodling, art offers an incredible ability to connect with our inner selves and promote wellness.  The act of creating allows us to express emotions, reduce stress, find moments of mindfulness, and even spread positivity.

We are also using art to make cross curricular and multi-grade connections in Eriksdale School. The grade 1/2 class will be creating illustrations of their very own monsters after reading “Unlike Other Monsters”, a story about friendship. The grade 7/8s will then sculpt and paint their drawings to create 3D versions of their creations!
