If you’re a little artistic or just looking to unwind with something hands-on, come create come recycled and sustainable art— and bring a friend!
This program introduces students to the seven elements of art—line, shape, form, colour, value, texture, and space—through hands-on exploration inspired by the natural world. Each week focuses on one or two elements, combining observation, creativity, and play to help students see how artists use these building blocks to create expressive work.
This program is the perfect space for all ages to express themselves, try something new, and connect with the community.
