Grade 3 – Tagxedo video for National Day

Grade 3 students worked very hard on creating a calligram to display during our National Day celebration. A calligram is an image made of words. For this project, Grade 3 thought of words that reminded them of Qatar and then used the (free) website tagxedo.com to create their calligram, using the silhouette of an animal that lives in Qatar. Well done, Grade 3!

Hello, my name is (Ms.) Catherine and I am the Art teacher at SEK Qatar. Once upon a time I received my Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota. While I was in school, I had the amazing opportunity to spend a semester studying art in Italy. Now I am an Art teacher and I have worked in the US, South Africa, and Qatar. When I'm not busy finding lesson ideas on Pinterest I like going desert driving (my husband does the driving), exploring in the souq, and trying new restaurants in Doha. I think an art education is essential to academic success for students and I am very proud to teach at one of the schools in Doha with a dedicated Art program!
