COMMUNITY & EDUCATION
Learn and Create a Collaborative Mural to be Installed at the Library!
Registration is now open for Pieces of Mimico, a mural making program that I will be leading this fall 2021. Pieces of Mimico will allow participants the chance to help create a collaborative mural to be installed at Mimico Centennial Branch library.
This program will explore mural making skills and techniques such as: creating patterns through stencils, mixing colours and choosing colour schemes, discussing and creating visual symbols, enlarging designs and experimenting with mural space design. Lead artist Tara Dorey will guide participants through art making “assignments”. Each “assignment” will be an art piece which will make up part of the mural, like pieces of a large scale puzzle. Once complete, all of the pieces will be brought together and installed inside the library as a collaborative mural.
