This interactive artmaking workshop supports the artistic talents of diverse artists. In this online virtual studio, we will look at artworks from the AGO collection and have fun drawing together!
Come hang out with us as we look at the way artists from across Canada and Europe have shown their experience of the natural world, or how they have described their own lives, the animals they admire or live with, the landscapes they have visited. Drawing is a way of expressing thoughts and ideas, dreams and hopes. When we draw, we are creating worlds on paper: places or realms that we can visit. What kind of worlds can you create?
Spring is around the corner; the trees will soon be in bud, the world is getting greener and trilliums will be blooming in the woods. Let’s welcome a new season with botanical compositions with the help of artists who have painted flowers, trees and the natural world.
Materials list:
- Colouring materials (pastels, pencil crayons, markers, paints or other materials to colour)
