Junior School Art Festival

This year, York House Junior School held their Second Annual Art Festival from April 21st to April 25th. The theme was “Imagine” and students were asked to think of an art piece that they felt captured the imagination and spirit of the world around them. Classes worked together collaboratively to create the pieces, others were small group projects, and there are also individual artwork submissions. 

A big thank you to everyone who created artwork and installations with their classes. Each class has done such an amazing job showcasing their student’s creativity and imagination! This creativity is inspirational showing just how, when given the opportunity to be creative, our students are phenomenal in their artistic endeavours. A big thank you to Ms. Katherine Yurkovich for organizing the Art Festival. 

To capture all of this creative work, Ms. Julie Grundvig made an interactive tour on Thinglink, which is best viewed on an iPad, laptop, or desktop. We hope you will enjoy this tour of the Festival that celebrates the artistic talents of our Yorkies. Don’t forget to look up, look down, and look all-around at the wonderful artworks our students created. Have fun!
