It’s not a box!

PreK 5 students have been using their imagination to create artwork. To prepare them for their exploration of Surreal art and the imaginative mind of Salvador Dali, students watched this animated version of Antoinette Portis’ Not A Box. This story provides a wonderful prompt for people of all ages to think, literally, outside the box. Watch and challenge yourself to create your own not-a-box!

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!
