Drawing activity suitable for all ages.
Born in Trinidad in 1964, Denyse Thomasos immigrated to Canada in 1970 and grew up in Toronto. Inspired by her extensive travels, Thomasos paintings are composed of abstract lines, shapes and forms. In Metropolis, she combines architectural and figurative elements woven into a dense overlay of yellows, oranges, browns and reds. Thomasos said that Metropolis “symbolically represents my generation’s coming-of-age. We witness great cities and powerful nations all connected, interdependent and intertwined, yet their common destiny tenuous and uncertain.”
What colours will you use to make these shapes pop out? Will you use earthy tones, like browns and yellows, like Thomasos did? How about cool tones, like blues and purples?
What does your final composition look like? What would you try if you did it again? Share it with us at #AGOmakes @AGOToronto
