Greetings Grade 5’s!
I wanted to share an upcoming event in our city with you. From Thursday, May 5th through Sunday, May 8th, the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) is hosting its 96th Annual Graduate Exhibition.
OCAD is Canada’s largest university for Art & Design, and students study there to become professional artists and designers. I was a student at OCAD not too long ago, and I participated in the Graduate Exhibition the year I finished.
This is a free event that you can visit with your families to see Art and Design pieces of work that will hopefully inspire and excite you! OCAD is right next door to the Art Gallery of Ontario – our province’s collection of artwork. Both the Art Gallery of Ontario and OCAD are really interesting buildings, and OCAD looks like a box floating on pencils, it is really cool to see in person!
We have been focusing on Graphic Design in our art classes, and this would be a great (and free) opportunity to see some fantastic artwork from students living in our city. You will notice many different types of posters, advertisements, and brochures all around you if you visit the show, and please make some observations about them.
I hope you have the chance to visit OCAD, and I am looking forward to hearing about your experiences. I know I am excited to see all of the different work on display!
Sincerely,
Ms. Greenberg
