In this workshop we will explore sculpture including different ways sculptures are made and the materials artist use to make 3D works for art. We will discover many types of 3D art together. We will start with a walk Outdoors to take a closer look at some of the sculptures located on the gallery/McMichael grounds. Then, inside the gallery we will continue our exploration of other sculptures. In the Studio, we will have a short break and then we will make our own 3D art using clay. (less)

In this workshop we will examine how artists can express ideas using thick (impasto) paints. Inside the gallery we will begin with a visit to the theatre as a Âehind the Scenes look at this room which was a part of the McMichael³ home. We will also handle an artist³ paint box and their tools to examine how some artists (like the Group of Seven) expressed their ideas of nature. We will look at some paintings in the gallery spaces and will continue by taking a leisurely walk outdoors, then head to the Pine Cottage studio space. In the studio, we will have a short break, then make art. We will make our own nature-inspired painting using thick (impasto) paint and a plastic palette knife. (less)

Enjoy the McMichael's woodland setting and its art collection in this workshop that takes a closer, fun look 2D shapes.
Begin with an in-gallery visit, followed by a discovery walk on the McMichael grounds. Lastly, in the Studio participants will use paper and a variety of design tools, drawing and colouring materials, to creatively express their ideas in making their own shape inspired artwork. (less)

In this interactive, hands-on workshop we explore how artists (contemporary, Group of Seven, Tom Thomson and others) can use colour and dramatic lines in their paintings.
