Amy Modahl, Redactions, 2024, oil on canvas, collection of the artist
Art Activity: Painting
Students will view Okanagan artist Amy Modahl’s new paintings on wood, canvas, and paper, that form part of her Redactions series. These works delve deeply into the written language and through this series Modahl explores sonnets and the written form, simplicity vs. complexity, and abstract graphic elements. Students will think critically about how Modahl’s work defies traditional boundaries and challenges conventional perceptions of art.
In the art activity following this tour, students will have the opportunity to paint their own abstract work of art.
