ST. JOHN’S
As part of a recent ArtSmarts project, Grade Five students at St. Andrew’s
Elementary were asked to invent a magic flying machine based on the designs
of Leonardo da Vinci. The real challenge was imagining what they’d
see from their inventions. Find out what 60 children can do with a little
paint, inspiration from artist Elayne Greeley Noble and a lot of imagination
as their work is shown in the exhibition Views from a Flying Machine:
Sixty Imaginative Paintings by the Students of the St. Andrew’s Elementary
School ArtSmarts Project, Jan. 11-23, 2002 at the Art Gallery of Newfoundland
and Labrador . Free admission. Info-line: 737-8209.
