Collage and Scultpure at Northern District–Today!
Collage, Poetry and Sculpture
By Valentina (Northern District)
Get an early start on Nuit Blanche with art and design workshops at Northern District on Saturday, October 1 from 10am to 4pm. Experience the arts walking through our library space and meet with others in your neighbourhood who love creative expression and want to explore various art forms.
Collage and Poetry Experience
The word collage comes from the French verb coller and means to paste, stick, or glue. By combining visual art with written expression, it is possible to create a powerful statement of who we are, helping to bridge the gap between the right and left brain.
In this workshop, you can discover your poetic and experimental sense, creating a collage with images from magazines and leaflets, adding words that reflect your collage’s unique meaning. Make your very own masterpiece or just come cut-paste-write and have fun. Get inspired and celebrate Culture Days with the mixed media artists and poets Ellen Jaffe and Catherine Raine. (Catherine Raine’s blog, Breakfast in Scarborough, is a trove of information about Toronto Public Library branches—she has visited every single one of them!) October 1, 10 am-1 pm.

Sculpture Workshop
Digital sculpting @ your library is presented courtesy of the Toronto School of Art. Sculpting in the digital realm lets the sculptor work naturally, but with a superset of the tools available to the traditional artist. With live demos, you will be introduced to sculpting. You can experiment with sculpting clay and learn about the amazing world of digital sculpting, an art form used extensively in film, concept art, video games and illustration. Create your very own 3D models! October 1, 12-4 pm.
Laser Eagles gets started at 2 pm in the Program Room. Check out our earlier blog posting.
A warm welcome to all artists, art enthusiasts and writers!
