Join our School Visits facilitators for a drop-in art activity session using colours to describe the world around us.

Landscape experience

JUNIOR

Overview

Facilitated by the Harbourfront Centre School Visits team, this art-making activity invites families and groups to design one creative response by exploring how we perceive colour, shape and texture in the land around us. Participants will consider the different elements of the land: sky, water and land. Participants can consider the following questions: How does the time of day/year affect the colours we see? What colours do you see in the sky, water and land? If we could touch these elements, what would they feel like? How can we represent these elements through texture? How can we express these elements through shape?  

Inspired by Harbourfront Centre’s landscape and connections to the land, participants will experiment with frottage (rubbings) and collage techniques to create colourful landscapes. They will take their landscape collage home.
