The class was fascinated with the amazing building, and it felt special to see famous Canadian pieces of art.
This week we were lucky enough to visit the Art Gallery of Alberta thanks to the help of our wonderful volunteers! We got to take in the gallery's Maud Lewis exhibit, and the students explored the idea of "place" with a mixed-media sculpture project. They investigated some important elements of landscape art including foreground, mid-ground and background, and visited gallery spaces to discover how artists tell stories about ‘places’ in their artwork. In the studio, students worked with a variety of materials to build their own 3-dimensional relief sculpture based on a place that is important to them. The class was fascinated with the amazing building, and it felt special to see famous Canadian pieces of art. Comments are closed.
