Senior High Arts Celebration

On June 2^nd and 3^rd, five DMCI art students were selected to participate in the WSD’s second annual Senior High Arts celebration at the Quamajuq>>Winnipeg Art Gallery. 

On the first day, the students, along with their Visual Arts teacher and high school students from across the division, were introduced to Takashi Iwasaki, a Winnipeg (West End!) artist, who started off the celebration with an artist’s talk. We then toured his exhibition at the nearby Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, before heading back to the WAG and being taught by Takashi how to embroider. We all designed out our ideas and then got straight to work, with a pizza lunch to give us energy to focus on our creations for the remainder of the day. Day two consisted of more intense embroidering alongside Takashi, another pizza lunch, a tour of the WAG, and then a gallery walk of all our work to celebrate all that we accomplished together over the past two days. It was a wonderful way mark the end of another successful artmaking schoolyear!
