This week, our Year 3–4 students completed their Autumn squirrel artworks, adding the finishing touches to their backgrounds and bringing their individual autumn scenes to life. It was wonderful to see how creatively each student developed their own ideas through colour, details, and composition.
As we celebrate Chuseok, the students also spent time learning about the meaning and traditions of Chuseok and thinking about why this special Korean celebration is important. Through discussion and visual examples, they explored some of the traditional customs and imagery associated with Chuseok.
They then started a new collaborative art activity inspired by what they had learned. Working in groups of two, the students are creating a scene of a rabbit making rice cakes under a bright full moon, inspired by traditional Chuseok imagery.
The students are still developing their artwork, sharing ideas and working together to create their scenes. The project is still in progress, and I’m excited to see how each group completes their artwork and brings their Chuseok ideas to life!
