I Am an Artist
(Art, Language Arts)

Being an artist isn’t only about creating paintings, drawings or sculptures. Sometimes being an artist is about how you look at the world around you. Slowing down to draw makes us look more deeply and critically. This skill building program will help students focus on their observation skills and drawing techniques to capture the essence of the artifact.

Ways of Looking
(Art, Language Arts)

Walk into a work of art and discover the world beyond its surface. Viewing art is more than a visual experience. An art encounter can awaken all of your senses! We will use works of art and sense-tools to develop the skill of looking deeply and explore the role our senses play in perceiving the world around us.

Gradually transform your classroom into a contemporary art installation. Through a series of activities, students will begin to look at the classroom as an object or collection of objects by isolating the lines, shapes and colours.
