Our Grads got their ceremony

It was important for Studio9 to honour our grads for their 13 years of hard work and to send them off to post-secondary arts and college pursuits with a bang.  After consulting with local health authorities, we made it work and our grads were ecstatic.

Kindergarten Grad 2020

Looking back through the year

Meet our delightful Baby Zoomers! The Kindy Class of 2020 had to overcome their first and hopefully last worldwide pandemic. Throughout the year they learned how to collaborate, enjoyed music, performed in front of live audiences, created beautiful paintings, danced their hearts out, made new friends, and started their Studio9 journey into learning through the arts. 

Environmental Game

Games by Miss Molly

During her self isolation, due to Covid19, Miss Molly hands in her school project that shows her game creation skills, while keeping our environment in mind. This game looks to be a lot of fun!

Spooky Animations with the Grade 2/3's!

Students drew a landscape with a foreground, middle ground, and background. They added details and used skills of overlapping and horizontal line. They painted their landscapes with watercolour paints. Afterward, students drew animated characters on the iPads using the DOINK app while learning the terms opaque and transparency. They animated their characters over their landscapes by layering the digital version of their painting under their semi-transparent or opaque characters. They created a path and added rotations in their clip.

Collaboration Day!

Students, core teachers, and arts teachers collaborate to produce art events based on core subjects.

Yellow Submarine on Stage

The first time "The Sub" has parked on a local stage

With a Beatles songbook in hand and a first of its kind script, the students of Studio9 designed the show top to bottom with set designs, make-up, costume plans, logistics, and even getting involved in putting the Playbill together. With adult/teacher mentoring they brought this show to the Kelowna Mary Irwin Theatre for three evenings and two matinees putting 100 students on or around the stage in song, dance, comedy and acting. Having a school wide performance week is important to the learning Through the Arts curriculum at Studio9 and a special teamwork is developed student to student and staff to staff, as well as any combination of the above. The audiences loved it for the colour, the music, the costumes and the fun.
