INSTRUCTOR BIOGRAPHY
An alumni of the Queen’s Bachelor of Fine Art program, Bonnie Crook has had the wonderful opportunity to teach art to thousands of children from Thailand, the Muskokas, Toronto and Kingston for fifteen years.

Controlled Chaos of Colour
Don your paint smock but leave the paint brushes in the jar. This day is going to be action packed fun with paint, masking and colour! Inspired by the abstract expressionist art from the exhibition In the Present: The Zacks Gift of 1962, young artists will create 2-d works that showcase the amazing effects of layered complimentary colours.

Time Capsule Self-Sculptures
Young artists who enjoy playing with fabric, fur and found materials and are skillful at cutting, wrapping, and stuffing will love this workshop. Inspired by the mixed-media, found object installations in Tau Lewis: when last you found me here, children will create child-sized lifeforms that reflect their own personal identity. This eclectic sculpture will include a plaster mask of the child’s face and casts of their hands or feet with secret objects placed inside.

Follow the Path: Exploring Feelings and Movement Through Line
Line is a fundamental element of art that carries so much meaning. In this PA day workshop young artists will learn how a line’s direction, thickness and colour can convey feelings and energy. Using line alone they will respond to various types of music, express a feeling, and tell a story using a variety of media. Inspired by the concept of migration seen in The hold: movements in the contemporary collection, children will create a 3-D bee mobile and get messy making unusual pathways with clay.
