The Halton District School Board is proud to present the 15th annual Elementary Art Show called, Elements and Expressions, on March 26-29, 2019. The popular event will showcase the artistic talent of Kindergarten to Grade 8 students, with various styles of artwork displayed in at the New Street Education Centre (3250 New St, Burlington) in the Brock Room.
Art mediums on display will include paintings, sculptures, puppets, paper maché, crayons, pastels, ink, fabric, 2D and 3D pieces. The exhibit pieces are selected by teachers to highlight art curriculum expectations. The purpose of the Elementary Art Show is to showcase student artwork and hopefully inspire and encourage others to pursue creative endeavours.
More than 1,000 students, teachers, parents/guardians, and community members are expected to visit the Elementary Art Show to tour the works of art over the course of the three-day exhibit. Professional artists from the Art Gallery of Burlington will demonstrate different artistic techniques such as pottery, weaving, spinning, photography, fine art and more. The artists will provide students with hands-on opportunities to show them how art can have a place in their future.
"Elements and Expressions displays the self-expression, imagination and artistic mindset of our young Halton artists,” says Rebecca MacRae, Instructional Program Leader - The Arts for the Halton District School Board. “The pieces in this exhibit show the range of art disciplines the students explore with their visual arts teachers. Through the creation of art, students explore their ideas and imaginations and connect to their own realities.”

- Tuesday, March 26 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
