Art Education @ Gallery 1C03!

During the month of October, three art classes from Ecole River Heights School visited Gallery 1C03 to take in Ken Gregory's fantastic exhibition "wind coil sound flow". 
After learning about Gregory's artwork, which was partly inspired by the Aeolian kite, the students went on to make their own kites out of humble recycled materials. They proceeded to take the kites for a test run on the front lawn of the University of Winnipeg....great fun! Special thanks to Amber Schellenberg, Gallery 1C03's art educator, for conducting this program.

If you are an art teacher, or a teacher of any discipline for that matter, consider contacting 
Gallery 1C0about visiting us with your students for a tour and art activity related to our latest exhibition "The Pinky Show: Class Treason Stories (excerpts)". The show continues until December 12 and we'll accept bookings until then [j.gibson@uwinnipeg.ca]. 

Please find below some images from the students' visit and kite-flying on the front lawn :)
