All art was once contemporary. 

Contemporary art is the art of the present. 

In this workshop designed for students of 8 - 12 year olds, students will encounter contemporary artists and visionaries in addition to traditional art to learn about the diversity of materials, unconventional approaches, alternative techniques and media to think critically about creative art practice. 

With this multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, students will be encouraged to think critically about artistic intent, to develop their curiosity about art making process, to experiment and play ideas and materials, and to see artistic potential in the world around them. 

Students have the opportunity to experiment with installation, collage, performance art, alternative photography, moving image and sound art, in addition to drawing, painting, sculpture, textile, craft, bookmaking and animation. 

No any existing knowledge or skills in art making is required.
