Art Activity: Drawing
Did you know that as well as staging many changing exhibitions throughout the year, the Kelowna Art Gallery plays host, on behalf of the people of the City of Kelowna, to nearly 1000 works of art? Some of the largest pieces are on display all year round. Join us to take a look at the larger sculptural pieces that you may not have noticed on your previous visits or if you did, you may have wondered what they might be. From enormous woven bells and vessels to laser-cut steel cars, your students will discover some of the not-so-hidden gems that we have to offer.
Students will curate and design their own exhibition for a group of artworks in their own permanent collection.
