McMichael Art Gallery visit

  On Tuesday, May 19, the Gr.6, 7 and 8 students visited McMichael Art Gallery in  Kleinberg for a tour and workshop focussing on the themes of "wilderness" and "landscape". Students had the opportunity to learn about The Group of Seven (most famed Canadian landscape painters), and view their works including those of Emily Carr, a famous Canadian female artist. The workshop allowed students to sketch and colour with watercolour crayons, and apply the concepts of space (i.e. fore, middle and background), colour and value to their individual pieces (see photo below). We had a great day and hope to return again someday!
