Whiteboard wonder: Regina teacher's art project a pandemic present for his class – CBC.ca
You could say that Andres Araneda “draws” inspiration from his students.
The Grade 5 and 6 French immersion teacher at Regina’s Wascana Plains School marked the end of a unique school year by drawing himself and his students together on his classroom whiteboard.
The detailed caricature-style drawings were completed with the use of only one whiteboard marker, Araneda told Saskatchewan Morning host Heather Morrison.
Because of pandemic restrictions, his class was unable to get photos done at the beginning of the year. This project was a replacement for that.
“I usually draw whiteboard drawings for my class all the time, and this year I thought, ‘Why not finish the year with a nice portrait of everyone together?'” he said.
Students in Araneda’s class also followed along with their own drawings as he drew the portraits on the whiteboard.
“They were just so curious to see the process and how I usually shade and stuff like that,” he said. “They had a lot of fun with it.”

Araneda said it took a whole year getting to know the students in his class in order to bring out their personalities with ink.
“I was actually talking to them before school and I said, ‘I’d love to do something like this when you start school, but I don’t know you guys yet,'” he said.
“Having the whole year with them … it just helps me capture their spirit.”
Araneda says especially this year, it’s important for him and his students to have a memento to remember the school year by.
“Sometimes that’s the only thing that we really have to really look back on when we grow up.”
Araneda’s art goes beyond the whiteboard. He’s spray painted murals, made designs on shoes and has sketched cartoon characters and animals.
“I’ve been drawing since I was walking, I think,” he said. “I like to get creative.”
Aside from art, Araneda also has a passion for cooking and even appeared on the Food Network series Wall of Chefs as a competitor last year.
He says this whiteboard art project is a culmination of lessons he’s given his students all year — encouraging them to believe in themselves and try new things.
“Always allow yourself to explore your own creativity because that’s when you grow the most and learn the most,” he said.

Sustainability, green energy, and world class visual art all meet in new art gallery building – Terrace Standard – Terrace Standard
A new building that will connect sustainable energy and world class visual art has just been announced and is set to open in 2027.
Made public by minister of Canadian heritage Pablo Rodriguez and long-standing MP Hedy Fry, the centre will receive $29 million in funding through the federal government and Infrastructure Canada.
As well as being apart of the Vancouver art gallery, the building will also be the first passive house art gallery in North America.
Passive house is an ultra-low energy performance standard within buildings and will further the gallery’s vision of creating safe and inclusive spaces, while meeting Canada’s efficiency standards in the goal of net-zero.
The building itself will showcase a variety of artists local to Canada and from around the world. It will also have a multi-purpose Indigenous community house, public art spaces, a theatre, and initiatives for marginalized groups.
For Fry, this new building will play an important role in supporting the groups that need it most.
“Cultural spaces and institutions like the Vancouver Art Gallery play an important role in supporting vibrant and inclusive communities. They connect the past with the present through exhibits that inform and inspire, they safeguard priceless artefacts and works of art, and they promote the talent of our Canadian artists and creators.”

The story of the large-scale plunder of African art and artefacts under European colonialism.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, European powers colonised the African continent and plundered its cultural artefacts on a massive scale.
Pieces of great local significance were pillaged by invading soldiers, seized by the colonial authorities, or taken by Christian missionaries.
The Europeans then put these works on display in their museums, in ethnographic exhibitions labelled “Negro Art”.
The works inspired artists like Pablo Picasso to produce some of the most innovative art of the 20th century.
