Confirmed dates for Out and About:
Not available!
About: Instead of being stuck inside all day this program was created for students not to see Art as an indoor activity only, but something they can do anywhere. Instead of just being inspired by books and picture and screens we will be directly inspired by the city we live in and the nature that surrounds us. Spending time out doors has been linked with children developing creativity and so many other benefits. Hence why Out and About was created.
The Plan: The Monday will be in the studio getting familiar with materials and approaches for the rest of the week on our adventures. Tuesday through Thursday we will be going out, and drawing/sketching/painting from what we see and where we go. Different trips subjects will be planned for different weeks. Included will be the Royal Ontario Museum, which is full of so many interesting things to draw. We will likely go to natural parks to paint/hike, and draw the buildings of Toronto. Some weeks may also include going to the Art Gallery of Ontario and/or Riverdale Farm. Fridays we are back at the Studio to take some of our drawings and sketches and turn them into finished Art works or finish off paintings with final details.
All transportation will be taken with the TTC.
What to bring: Students will be asked to bring backpacks, nut free lunch, drinks snacks, sunscreen, and hats. It’s recommended to wear comfortable shoes, no sandals. Clothing should be the kind that parents don’t mind students getting stained. On the Monday and Friday we will go to a local park and splash pad for our break. A towel is suggest for those days.
