CREATIVE ACTIVITY “EXPLORATION OF COLLECTIONS”
EVERY SATURDAY FROM 11 AM TO NOON.

Let your creativity flow!
Beginning with an educational component, the activity begins with a commented observation of a representation of a work from the collection in the educational workshop with a mediator. The group is then invited to explore a technique related to the fine arts or the artistic process in relation to the work presented.
This series of workshops is an opportunity to learn about different mediums such as charcoal, dry pastel, acrylic markers, while having fun with original creative challenges, such as making a handmobile or a small sculpture in the shape of an animal! At the end, participants keep their creations and can continue their visit to the Museum’s exhibitions.
A small snack and a beverage are offered to participants during the activity. Art materials provided, coloured aprons on loan.
Fee: Activity included in the price of admission / free for members
Public: Intended for the family public, a target age is suggested but the workshop is open to all! Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Duration: 60 minutes (plan to arrive 5 minutes before the beginning of the workshop)
Maximum 15 people
Reservation recommended: 819 821.2115 or accueil@mbas.qc.ca
