Field Trip to the Dam

Today I took my students on a Visual Arts field trip. The objective of this field trip was for the students to sketch a landscape. They will later have to take this landscape and transfer it into an oil painting. I am really excited to see how their paintings turn out. We went to the Dam and the students had an hour to sketch various landscapes. I really wanted them to paint a piece of their home. The bus ride was about 15 minutes long. The roads are very bumpy due to potholes, so needless to say it was not a smooth ride.

My grade 9 class with me. These are a great bunch of kids.
