Just as all matter is made up of different elements, art is a combination of different elements or building blocks. Artists combine line, shape, form, space, texture, value, and color to produce their work. These elements also help us appreciate, understand, and analyze works of art. LINE: In art, lines aren’t just straight or otherwise; they can also be abstract or implied, or two or three dimensional. Line is the foundation of visual art. SPACE: Space is based on where and how the artist applies all the other elements of art on their work. Space allows artists to set the foreground, middle ground, or background for paintings. TEXTURE: Texture connects with the sense of touch. For artwork that cannot be touched, the artist uses texture to show how something looks like it would feel. COLOUR: Color itself has three elements: hue, value, and intensity. Colors can hold emotion. The meaning of an artwork can drastically change just by playing around with these elements. VALUE: In connection with color, value determines how light or dark color is when used in art. The lightest value of color is white, while the darkest value is black. SHAPE: Shape is the product of closed lines. They are two dimensional and only convey height and width. FORM: When a shape acquires depth, it has form. For example, when a circle has form, it transforms into a sphere.

Activities to promote good mental health & wellbeing in young people What is gratitude? Gratitude is one of many positive emotions. It’s about focusing on what’s good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have. Gratitude is pausing to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted, like having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, family, even computer access. It’s taking a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are when something good happens — whether it’s a small thing or a big thing. We can use lots of words to describe feelings of gratitude: We might say we feel thankful, lucky, fortunate, humbled, or blessed. Why gratitude matters Gratitude doesn’t just feel good. Making a habit of gratitude can also be good for us. Like other positive emotions, feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a big effect on our lives. Brain research shows that positive emotions are good for our bodies, minds, and brains. “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” – C.S. Lewis Hugs relieve stress & pain Hugging often creates a feeling of calmness and relaxation.

Informative colouring pages to teach children about the importance of Remembrance Day. What is Remembrance Day? Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Traditions There are some things that people do on Remembrance Day at 11:00 AM. That is when the World War ended. At a ceremony for Remembrance Day, a tune called “The Last Post” is played on a bugle (or sometimes a trumpet). Then there is two minutes of silence. At the end of the silence, the bugle plays a tune called “Reveille”. In many countries, many people wear a poppy on Remembrance Day, and for a few days before. The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower to commemorate those who died in war. People bring wreaths made of poppies to Remembrance Day ceremonies. The poppy is a symbol to show they remember the wars, and the soldiers who fought in them. Poppies were chosen as a symbol because they often grew in battlefields after the soldiers stopped fighting. What is the Shrine of Remembrance? The Shrine of Remembrance is a war memorial in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in Kings Domain on St Kilda Road. It was built to honour the men and women of Victoria who served in World War I, but now functions as a memorial to all Australians who have served in any war. Why is Remembrance Day so important? On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve. During times of war, individual acts of heroism occur frequently; only a few are ever recorded and receive official recognition.
