How to foster creativity and emotional balance through Visual Arts in a time of Distance Learning.

Our observations show that, for the whole duration of the twelve weeks of distance learning, students continued to be engaged and excited about learning. As a school, the main focus of FASRI’s Art Program was to provide students of all grades with avenues to express their creativity and feelings as they stayed at home....

During two weeks of distance learning, students in first and second grade have explored two wonderful countries in art class. They have been discovering new artforms virtually and gaining appreciation for different cultures in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

Every week, the French Humanities Class provides sixth and fifth grade students with an opportunity to observe and analyse a piece of art. The piece of art serves as a starter for them to write a short text about the painting, imagine who the character might be, their state of mind and feelings, the story in the painting, and much more.
