Visions of the New Gallery

Some time ago I had mentioned one of the weeks we had been to Something on Sundays at the Mendel Art Gallery, they had been having the kids paint their Vision of the new Art Gallery of Saskatchewan. They were going to select some of the pictures to go up around the building site of the new gallery.

The other day I rode by the site and noticed they had started putting some up - but none of the kids.

Yesterday I noticed they had put up a few more...


...including Keiras:



Yay Keira!!

Something on Sundays

For the last month or so we've been taking the kids to Something on Sundays at the Mendel Art Gallery. It's a drop in art studio for kids on sundays from 2-4. Good Fun.



Last week they were having kids paint their vision of the new Art Gallery of Saskatchewan (which, it seems, will be replacing the Mendel at some point in the not too distant future - which makes me just a little bit sad... having fond memories of many summer art camps at the Mendel...).

Here's what the kids came up with:


Finegan's vision.


Keira's vision.

I was totally wowed by these. We (surprisingly) don't paint all that much at home (it being a bit "messy" and all...) so I was very impressed with these! Have to do some more painting at home!! (ALL of us!)

Then we made some "artists trading cards"
