Seymour Art Gallery - Elizabeth Mackenzie exhibit Unbecoming: An Annotated Exhibition - Workshops with School Children

On October 4th I led two grade four classes in a material based art workshop at the Seymour Art Gallery in Deep Cove. Based on the current exhibit by Elizabeth Mackenzie we made faces out of charcoal and water soluble graphite, and then used water and different materials to experiment with and create their own drawings of faces. After they saw the exhibit the children came up with some really amazing drawings. Here are a few examples:

Again on October 18th I led two workshops, this time with grade one classes.

Using the same methods we did short studies and exercises making faces.
