Dené painter Alex Janvier is not only one of Canada’s most cherished artists; he is a survivor of the residential school system, an environmental activist and an eloquent advocate for the rights of First Nations peoples across Canada. Following a presentation that chronicles his earliest works through to his massive dome at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, students emulate the expressive lines, bold colour and abstract quality of Janvier’s work through a combined paper marbling and pencil crayon project. This program is also an excellent basis for follow-up exploration in journaling, language arts and dance/movement. 2 hours, $10 per student.
