OPTICA centre d'art contemporain presents:Activity inspired by the artistic practice of Sandra Brewster Mediation: Digital Educational Toolkit
Due to the health crisis that is significantly reducing youth’ access to art and culture, OPTICA has developed a digital educational toolkit for school groups and families. The kit provides an opportunity to discover the practice of the artist Sandra Brewster whose work is currently confined at OPTICA. It also allows for students to be introduced to contemporary art and to learn more about artist-run centres in general.
The kit contains a virtual tour that can be facilitated by a teacher and an accompanying guided visit scenario is made available to help guide the visit. If preferred the tour can be conducted by a mediator from the center via a video conference platform. A downloadable and printable student booklet is also made available for use; it contains a lexicon of the themes addressed in the exhibition, a short biography of the artist and 5 educational activities that can be carried out both in class and at home.
The kit also includes a creative workshop that introduces students to the image transfer technique Brewster uses in her work.
To obtain a kit and/or plan a virtual visit with a mediator, please contact Sandrine at mediation@optica.ca.
