Confederation Centre of the Arts's video: CCAG Art Class from Home 4: The Colour and the Shape Exploring Oganic and Inorganic Forms

Explore the elements of art while learning more about artworks in the Confederation Centre Art Gallery's permanent collection. This brand-new program provides weekly instructional art activities inspired by artworks from our permanent collection. These activities are similar to those taught in the gallery's regular education programs and can be completed with basic materials that you probably already have at home! Activity Description: Robert Youds's work visiteur is what he refers to as a "light painting," an artwork that mimics painting's characteristics primarily with light. This specific work features two light boxes and black vinyl line drawings stuck onto the vibrant yellow box on the right. This activity uses the elements of line, colour, and shape found within this artwork to explore its use of organic and geometric shapes.
