Does your child love to stay busy and have a great imagination? Join Monica
Joshi during the afternoons in Week 3 for Stranger Things on the Prairies or Week 4
Escape Into Art this Summer where they will draw, paint, sculpt, and bring 3D artworks
to life. Children will have fun making friends as they design imaginative characters and
build intergalactic landscapes.
Is your teen artist interested in developing advanced drawing & painting
techniques with pen, ink, graphite, and watercolour? Be sure to sign up for Brooke
Piche’s Drawing & Surrealism class or Art Studio Workshops designed specifically for
teens. Youth will find inspiration to take their artwork and ideas to a whole new level
and develop techniques in line, shading, and portraiture. Also back by popular demand
is a Harry Potter-inspired class for youth ages 9-13. Discover how JK Rowling’s books
& movies provide a rich source of inspiration for new art projects, illustrations, wands,
potions, and more.
Do your little ones love to get creative with paint, clay, rainbow unicorns, and
sparkles? Leave the mess to us, and bring your kids to the gallery so they can have fun
and set their imagination free with classes such as Colour Catchers, Under the Sea &
Summer Scenes, or Path to the Stars! Instructors Jamie Ketcheson and Hannah Seitter
will help children to spark their creativity and ignite their imagination in a relaxed and
stimulating studio environment. Children will learn step by step how to work with soft,
squishy clay, make suncatchers, puppets, superhero artwork, or Go Green with
papermaking and mini-robot sculptures. There is something for everyone in a wide
range of workshops this summer.
These workshops, plus many more, are all listed on the Art Gallery’s website: agsm.ca
