Put Your Paintbrush Down
Drop the brush! Paint masterpieces with everyday objects.
Kids will transform everyday objects into art tools while building an understanding of colour theory, perspective and printmaking. Each session focuses on experimentation over perfection, looking at the different styles created by each tool. Get ready to explore with paint!
1 Your Guide
As a scientist, I LOVE exploring and learning through hands-on experimenting! Planting seeds and sprouts and watching them grow is one of my favourite things to do. I am an active learner and am currently starting my PhD, my fifth university degree. I have worked with the Ontario Science Centre, Science North, and as a grade 7 and 8 classroom teacher for many years - all great places to try new things. I believe staying curious is the most important thing people can do!
I like taking pictures of plants, animals, water and sky, then use them to create fun works of art using glass, wood or paint!
