iCAN Art Field Trip

Today, G5 went to iCAN to participate in an art event that 5 schools (Logos, Northbridge, iCan, Hope, and ISPP) in Phnom Penh are participating in. It was inspired by two local artists, Kimchean Koy and David Myers (please read the article below in the Phnom Penh Post) and organised by the art teachers from these five schools who wanted to organise a collaborative project.
Phnom Penh Post - Kimchean Koy and David Myers,

Below is the task as set out by Ms. Dana for today.

Tasks

1. Respond to the large artwork by local artists, David Myers and Kimchean Koy in sketchbooks.  What is the mood?  What is the message?
2. Use the tangram shapes to create a symbol of a local issue in our community.  
3. Each student creates a different stencil of the simple shapes that make up their symbol.  
4. Each group of 4-5 students paints/sponges their stencil onto a shared canvas.  
5. These canvases will be displayed as our response.
6. When finished, students can stencil their symbol once onto a large, collaborative canvas that all 5 schools will be adding to.  ISPP students can add their symbols to 4-5 triangles per large canvas (these will be painted by a staff member at the beginning of the field trip while students cut their stencils.)
7. Clean up and add to thank you card to iCan for hosting us.
