In addition to our annual Kite-Making tradition, artist Angelica Vanasse will also be facilitating a Jamestown Nature Walk, zine-making, and map-making. JAC will be activated with a different nature-inspired craft activity! Kite Making will be happening in the Main Gallery for the duration of the event.
Any families who are interested in participating in the Jamestown Nature Walk are asked to join us at JAC at 11 AM and to RSVP. Angelica will lead a family friend nature walk from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM.
Starting at 12:30 PM, Angelica will facilitate zine-making and map-making in our studio spaces.
Families are encouraged to come at any time to join us for these drop-in style craft activities.
More on the Nature Walk, Creative Nature Zine, + Art Maps:
Come along on a creative journey with artist Angelica Vanasse to explore springtime with our creativity. We’ll make time and space to create in harmony with nature in this creative session for all ages to make artworks big & small. Participants can get immersed in what spring looks and feels like in Jamestown on an explorer walk from the arts center to the shore. We’ll see what our senses can find - colours, textures, smells, sounds and shapes. As we go we’ll gather sketches, textures and ideas to pop into mini zines together back at the art centre using colorful artistic techniques. You can also help us make a big collaborative art map that shares our explorer walk discoveries which we’ll display in the workshop at the arts centre in the afternoon.
Zines are little DIY booklets - quick and easy to make and fill with your art and ideas. You’ll learn about how to make a zine, and get to have time back in the workshop to fill it with drawings, mini paintings, collage & printmaking. You can also add your artwork to our big art map that shares our creative journey and everything discovered along the way. Even if you don’t participate in the nature walk, you are encouraged to join us for the drop-in activity portions!
