The goal for our three Grade 9 Integrated Arts classes was to create and organize a commemoration of the pandemic. We involved the entire school community in the process so that everyone had the opportunity to contribute their COVID experiences. While our plan was to create a dynamic installation in the Triangle at school, the emergence of Omicron brought new challenges, and we decided to showcase our commemorative art through this student-built website instead.
Students were challenged to use the different Arts disciplines to express and commemorate the positive and negative experiences of COVID-19. We are proud of how they have used their creativity and artistry to communicate the visceral impacts of the pandemic.
You Will Be Found
You Will Be Found is a collaboration between iRAP and comprehensive students in Vocal Music and Visual Arts. Our vocal music class and music council students recorded their parts individually from home, and our visual arts classes used the music to inspire their work. From our vocalists working in the first quadmester to our artists in the fourth, this was a year-long labour of love.
This collaborative art project centres around the idea that despite all of the isolation from the past year, we are not alone. We, as humans, will find ways to connect and support each other and will find hope even in the darkest of times.
