Studio Activity Options
1. Contemporary Windows
Introduces the guest to thinking about contemporary art through a deeper look at Ghazaleh Avarzamani’s Mashrabiya, the bright blue window screen that is a fixture of MOCA’s studio space. Through close observation, conversation, and a hands-on paper-cutting craft, students will explore shape, colour, and light as well as new ways of thinking and talking about contemporary art.
2. Watercolour Wonders
Inspired by MOCA’s exhibition Diaries After a Flood, Watercolour Wonders will introduce students to the medium of watercolour painting, exploring beginner painting techniques. Students will have the opportunity to illustrate their imaginations and own stories while responding to Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas’s Haida Manga, a mixture of North Pacific Indigenous narratives and frame lines and Japanese cartooning.
