SOLD OUT We have put together an Art Kit full of Museum inspired activities in celebration of our 80th anniversary. Your Kit will include a project a day for April Break (moved from March) with full instructions and art supplies along with a special bonus because what is a birthday without a surprise! Tutorials will become available the week of April Break to give instruction and inspiration for three of the multi-step projects. These will be recorded so you can participate in your own time. Activities are geared towards children aged 6 to 12 years of age.
With the Museum closed during the provincial lock-down Kits will now be porch delivered directly to families who will be contacted to confirm details.
Each Kit includes
- Mini-Museum Foldable project: you are our next generation artists and curators. Hand fold a pre-printed mini-Museum, fill it with your artwork, and give your exhibition a title.
- 3D Animal Casting project*: learn to mold and cast your own plaster animal sculpture inspired by Tom Benner’s iconic silver rhino on the Museum’s front lawn
- Fabric Tapestry project*: explore the geometry of art through repeating design and shape manipulation to create your own fabric Tapestry inspired by Under Cover: Quilts
- Fantasy Nature Collage project: let your imagination fly playing with watercolour pencil crayons and oil pastels to layer this fantasy collage inspired by Tom Benner's The Coves.
- Animation Wheel project*: bring your drawings to life in this animation lab. Learn drawing techniques, consider dynamic scenes, and shade with colour before spinning them to life
- A surprise Museum Celebration bonus
- Written instructions for each activity with inspiration, supply tips, and project guidance
