Alongside Christine Mackenzie, an Indigenous artist, facilitator, speaker and curator, explore what makes each person unique and discover how to spread kindness through making art. Christine will share her experiences as an Indigenous woman and the importance of Truth and Reconciliation. Students will use different art mediums to colour, paint and embellish an original design created by Christine to take home as a reminder of what they learned.
Explore an entire world of rhythm and gain a broad knowledge of ethnic, classical and modern music. Students will learn various disciplines of rhythm and develop coordination through body drumming, verbal notation, clapping and snapping. Play on a variety of musical instruments including Irish bones, didgeridoo and drum-table.
Learn about various low-tech animation techniques and innovative ways to create animation without any special equipment. Students will be taught the principles of animation and drawing techniques through demonstrations and warm-up exercises. Explore animation using stop motion techniques such as pixilation and drawing with light. Foster creativity and collaboration by creating animations without any special equipment.
Explore Latin beats through dance! Students will learn from various Latin styles, traditional to modern including cumbia, salsa, dembow, merengue and more. Connect with a culturally rich musical history that reflects the region and people who pride themselves on their dance practices. Learn about the important cultural context for each dance form and celebrate the Afro-Latino and indigenous influences in these musical genres.
