Project Title: Aluminum Etching
The students etched an aluminum plate to create a sketch which they then
transferred to paper. Each grade nine class spent a morning with the
artist. The finished artwork was displayed in the school library from
April 3rd to April 6th, 2006. The project was displayed at the Confederation Centre of the Arts Gallery from May 15th to June 5th, 2006.
"Our school took part in a program called ArtsSmarts, it was a really fun program we learned a lot of different things, I had a lot fun."
"It was really fun and interesting."
"I think it was good working with etching paints, paper, and different stuff, using chemicals in the water and making the picture."
