The first A.R.T In Action is over and Sarah Lickley and I met some great people. Check out our short video on what we did the last 6 weeks. Thank you to everyone who made this possible and we can't wait to bring more FREEEEEEE art, painting, photography and every single way to create, to youth and deserving communities!
It’s the end, but only the beginning!
We just wanted to thank everyone who helped to make this program happen. To the staff at Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre: to the custodians who helped prepare the rooms, troubleshoot and clean up, to the director of corporate services who facilitated the use of the space, to the HR and administration manager who organized the schedule and contract, to the guest speakers we had come in to share their insight and knowledge to the youth and to everyone who donated time, support and love. To my babysitter (Mailyne speaking) who watched my son so I could volunteer to teach this program.
We learned a great deal for the next one and met some wonderful new friends. We look forward to bringing out another A.R.T in Action (stay tuned!) and hope that more people can come out and enjoy art for free. Thank you to all the youth for coming out and making our Saturday’s memorable.
WEEK 6: Collaborative painting and showcase Youth received a large gallery canvas to do a collaborative group project on. This piece will be auctioned off to help raise funds for the next A.R.T in Action. They set up their art work and invited guests to come see what they created. We had a new student join us on the last day and everyone got to enjoy free pizza.
Week 5: T-Shirt Design, Fabric Painting and Stenciling Youth learned how to create their own designs and art work that could be used on t-shirts or on a canvas like a blank hat. Some brought in their own materials. We used screen printing paint, fabric paint and regular acrylic paint.
WEEK 4: Block cutting and graffiti
Youth learned how to create stamps using recycled material: insulation and corks. A guest speaker and professional artist, Mique Michelle, an advocate of graffiti, came in and shared techniques and stories about the misconception of graffiti. We used a chalk “Kid Graffiti” spray as well as a new water-based, non-odourless spray paint (Montana brand).
WEEK 3: Photography Youth learned different styles of photography as well as group collaboration. They acted out scenarios and each person took turns “directing” their shoot. Youth also got to be a part of a music video project that promotes ending violence against women. You can learn more HERE.
WEEK 2: Youth explored using mixed media art using any of our supplies provided.
Guest Speaker: bcayford came in to present and share some insight on being an artist in the industry of animation.

WEEK 1: Intro to Painting and Experimentation
—Today was the first day of A.R.T in Action!
A few people who came had never learned art or painted before which was exciting to see their first attempt. Students learned basics of color theory, themes, styles of paintings and types of paint mediums and looked at examples of other work before they adventured on their own.
Some painted from reference, others painted from their mind. Our goal was to keep it fun with general guidance and it turned out well!
Next week, a guest speaker and well known animator and film-maker, bcayford will be coming in to share his experience and lead off the session for Mixed Media.
New participants are still welcome.
See you next Saturday!
We still have space for you!

Canvas Pop will be sponsoring A.R.T in Action! The youth will have the opportunity to print out one of their photos on canvas and display it during their final exhibition. Another option available to them is to use their printed photograph for mixed media art.
We sincerely thank Canvas Pop for their generous support!
