As we explore shapes in PP, we are also learning how to trace around 2D shapes and stencils. Tip for helping little ones keep the traced object in place: encourage them to secure it to the paper before they begin tracing. #cognitaway #stamfordhk #primaryvisualarts

Physical learning environments make a huge difference to the feel of a school. It is little things like this that I see on my way to the classroom every morning that transform a building into a school. Good job Gabrielle Gray! #StamfordHK #CognitaWay #teachart #thedaythecrayonsquit

Thanks for an excellent of Tim Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇸🇭🇰🇦🇪🇨🇳 and 𝕁𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕟 𝕆𝕦𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖 ! Quick question for you, is there a way we can follow hashtags on twitter? #cognitaway #cogcon2021

In groups where we have the majority of students preforming below grade level literacy expectations, beyond RazKids and Epic, how do you enhance student's reading, writing and phonetic awareness through tech in a meaningful, impactful and personalised way? #cognitaway #cogcon2021

Thanks for sharing, Stamford American School Hong Kong #visualartsprimary #cognitavisualarts

As we study abstract art in G2, we explored Kandinsky's use of shape and colour. We reimagined his Circle in a Circle 1923 into stain glass-like artworks. The Noisy Paint Box explains his synesthesia, which lent to Kandinsy's unique relationship with colour and music #cognitaway

Remembrance Day is such an important day of reflection, gratitude & honour. We are so lucky to live with freedom because of the brave men & women who fought for our liberty. Today we explored various forms of art expressing sadness, courage & hope during times of war #cognitaway

What a brilliant oppertunity for students to take action in their immediate community and spread joy. This is the type of project I would have loved to work on as a middle schooler!

Thanks for retweeting!

One of my favourite days at Stamford each year is American Thanksgiving. This year, my grade 1s and 3s helped create this tree for faculty to share what they are most grateful for #cognitaway #stamfordhk

Hanukkah Shalom! Last week in G1, we prepared for the festivities by learning all about Hanukkah & singing traditional songs in English and Hebrew. As Hanukkah often referred to as the festival of lights, it seemed fitting to create these translucent Stars of David. #cognitaway

I absolutely LOVE this toolbox G1 made for me. I can tell they really enjoyed doing this and put a lot of effort into making all the essential parts of our art space! Such a creative activity, Maria Evans Castro! Thank you for sharing! #cognitaway #stamfordhk #elementaryart

Such a lovely way to start a day! Thank you to my secret gifter! I'm ready for the holiday and loaded up with chocolate! #ivebeenmugged #cognitaway #stamfordhk

I couldn't be more proud of my Grade 1's and their gorgeous Sunflowers and Impressionist frames! They worked so incredibly hard and enjoyed exploring Van Gogh's trade mark strokes. I cannot wait to hang these all over the school! #elementaryart #cognitaway #stamfordhk #visualarts

During our free creative time this month, students can choose to take part in our advent challenge. Here is one 2nd Grade student's interpretation of "a Christmas tree in the north pole". #ArtAdventCalendar #stamfordhk #cognitaway

As part of the staff #BeWell committee, I've created a self-care advent calendar for our faculty. Hopefully you can partake in some of these activities and welcome the holiday season and count down to a well deserved break! #cognitaway #stamfordhk #SASSelfCareAdvent

Grade 2's exploration of Colour Theory has led us to Kandinsky and his use of tertiary colours. Our students created these magnificent compositions inspired by Kandinsky's Circles In a Circle. They certainly add a splash of colour to the 4th floor! #stamfordhk #cognitaway

Throughout our inquiry into Van Gogh, we've covered a wide range of elements, materials and techniques in G1. Here, we explored symmetry whilst recreating Van Gogh's Irises. They are such a cheerful addition to the entryway to the primary art room! #cognitaway #stamfordhk
