Upcoming Art Programs with McMichael Art Gallery

April 18 - Water Quilt
WATER QUILT PRINTMAKING STUDIO GRADES 1 – 3, 4 – 6 Inspired by Joyce Wieland’s Water Quilt, students create a collective artwork incorporating handmade stencils representing various plants and species from our fragile wetland environment. This studio invites students to explore the art of printmaking while addressing the impact of climate change on our immediate natural environment. 

April 21 - Landscape
LANDSCAPE PAINTING STUDIO GRADES 1 – 3, 4 – 6 Inspired by the Group of Seven’s legacy, this painting studio takes students from an initial compositional study to a final painting, all while discovering the modernist take on the landscape genre. Exploration of colour gradation and space is an important part of this process-oriented studio as students learn the tricks and tips for painting perspective, focal points, and working with a traditional Canadian palette.
