École Cedardale Elementary BIG IDEAS Project
Awarded with a Vancouver Biennale BIG IDEAS artist collaborator grant in 2013, students from École Cedardale Elementary participated in the Vancouver Biennale BIG IDEAS 2014 Cross-Curricular Challenge. Drawing inspiration from various Biennale installations and artist Andy Goldsworthy, students explored the BIG IDEA “Community pride is fostered through a sense of ownership, appreciation, and connection to place”. Through a cross-curricular and art infused project, students inquired into the guiding questions: “How does understanding our personal identity help us to appreciate our community? Who and what have impacted the community and its landscape over time? What has had lasting impact and why?”
