18 Jan
We will be having a guest in the library on the 18th of January. Doug Haslam, an artist that will bring to us “The Cabinet of Curiosities” a small (miniature) box with moving parts and hidden compartments to house the art works of seventeen Alberta artists. In this cabinet, strange and wondrous things in miniature will be housed. These unique miniatures are created around a personal story or perspective of each artist.
Many strange and wonderful things await our students. This presentation, I hope, will provide the basis of some critical and creative thinking. The students will be doing some preliminary preparation for the exhibit..that will allow them to share personal stories through the objects and places that are most important to them. This activity will help students build their descriptive vocabulary through a sensory visualization exercise.
The presentation will be made to the Gr. 3-4’s and if time permits that Gr. 2’s as well. If you can spare some time…please join us in the library on Monday the 18th of January for some weird and wonderful art.
