6th Grade NuArt Trip

People have been painting on walls for over 30,000 years. If you want to know more about this, Grade 6 are the people to ask as they are learning about both Early Man in Social Studies and Cave Painting in Art. On Tuesday, the whole grade got the opportunity to see very modern wall paintings on their trip to see the NuArt festival. Led by Ms. Price, through rain, wind and hopeful sunshine, students excitedly hunted for hidden artworks along Pedersgata and around Nytorget. At Tou Scene students met Simon, a graffiti writer who helped all the NuArt artists make their exhibition. Students then got to explore the indoor pieces, drawing and writing about their favourites. They had a lot of questions and interesting conversations with Simon about what the artworks were about and how they were made. One student remarked that her school bus went through Storhaug and she had never noticed the art on the walls before. Now, she said happily, she would keep a look out as art can be anywhere.
