In-Class Art Projects

Our intermediate class had another art lesson, where we learned drawing techniques for Cones & Spheres. Our drawing skills are improving!

Our primary class learned about the art of British Columbian, Emily Carr. Carr’s work is world-renowned, and is characterized by atmospheric movement and vibrancy in nature.

Ramadan

The class read the Book, “Ramadhan and Eid-ul-Fitr” by 8-year-old author, Azra Jessa. This year, Ramadan is from February 28 to March 29. This celebrates the lunar calendar and is marked by the new moon or crescent moon. During Ramadan, people fast during the day, which means they do not eat or drink from sun rise to sun set. During this time, people concentrate on goodness and kindness. Jessa writes: “Our hands should only do good by helping others, our mouths should only be used to say kind words, and our ears should only listen to good things.”

Here is more information about the book and author.

On the last day of fasting, they look for the new moon or crescent mood, to indicate the end of Ramadan and the time for feasting, which is called “Eid-ul-Fitr” or “Eid”. At Eid we celebrate our month of discipline and promise to continue our goodness for the rest of the year.
