Collectively, they explore the medium of paint through non-traditional techniques, including assemblage, sculpture, video and installation, while challenging the definition of the act of painting. This exhibition was curated by Ola Wlusek and organized and circulated by the Ottawa Art Gallery. Exhibition Artists Eli Bornowsky, Jeremy Hof, Monique Mouton, Jinny Yu Our School Art Workshops develop visual literacy through critical inquiry and personal explorations, and are adapted to each grade level. Our programs meet the BC Visual Arts Curriculum. Art Workshop: Painter’s Lab: Experiments with paint! Preschool – Primary Intermediate Swipe, drip, splatter, and stipple… these are just a few of the many ways to paint! We discuss a variety of painting techniques and encourage students to experiment while creating an abstract painting that showcases their creativity. How a painting is made can be just as important as what it looks like. The importance of the artist’s process is explored through examination and discussion of the gallery artworks. Gathering ideas from the unique painting methods they have observed, students experiment with paint to create an abstract painting.

Exhibitions and School Art Workshops April 18 – June 28, 2015 Greg Girard: Richmond/Kowloon Cities are complex, constantly evolving spaces, and this exhibition examines the growth and cultural complexity of Richmond, BC and Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong. Greg Girard’s photographs illuminate the daily lives of the inhabitants of both cities, and explore how their diverse backgrounds blend and transform both Richmond and Kowloon into unique places. Art Workshop: Cityscapes with Shape and Texture Preschool – Primary Intermediate Shapes and textures are everywhere in the city, from soaring towers to curving arches, and boxy rough brick to shiny, smooth glass and metal. While creating a cityscape collage with shape and texture, students will learn about architectural forms and materials. Students unleash their inner architect and design a city exploring the materials and structural forms of the built environment. Combining shape and textures, students create a cityscape collage inspired by the unique forms found in Girard’s photographs.
