SUMMARY:L’art du Canada : Les choix du directeur
DESCRIPTION:Compris dans le prix du billet \nGratuit pour les membres Adulte – 18 $\nÉtudiant/Aîné – 15 $\nFamille – 36 $\n(Forfaits des mardis) \nACHETEZ VOS BILLETSNorval Morrisseau (1932 – 2007)Thunderbird with Inner Spirit c. 1978acrylic on canvas208.3 x 127 cmPurchase 1979McMichael Canadian Art Collection1979.6\nLa sélection des œuvres logées dans les réserves de la Collection McMichael d’art canadien est née de mon désir\, en tant que nouveau directeur général\, de découvrir la collection rapidement et en profondeur. Monter une exposition me semblait la solution idéale. Je ne prétends pas que cette sélection est « le fin du fin»\, loin de là. Choisies parmi les quelque 6500 œuvres dans la collection\, ces 200 peintures ne représentent que la partie visible de l’iceberg. Cela dit\, ce sont celles qui m’ont interpellé lors de ma première visite dans les réserves. D’une grille coulissante à l’autre\, les peintures que j’ai choisies ont amorcé un dialogue\, se regroupant naturellement et dictant en quelque sorte l’accrochage. – Ian Dejardin

SUMMARY:Tukilik : L’inukshuk et l’art inuit
DESCRIPTION:Included in General Admission \nFree for members Adult – $18\nStudent/Senior – $15\nFamily $36\n(Special Prices Tuesday) \nGET TICKETSTukilik : L’inukshuk et l’art inuit dans la collection du McMichael\nCommissaire: Nancy Campbell  \nKananginak Pootoogook (1935 2010) Untitled (Stone Implements) graphite on paper 56 x 71.2 cm The Norman E. Hallendy Archives\, Gift of Norman E. Hallendy and Diana Cousens\, 2015 McMichael Canadian Art Collection Archives ARC NH2015.6\nEn inuktitut\, tukilik désigne « une chose ayant une signification ». Cette exposition explore les nombreuses significations et interprétations artistiques des inuksuit (le pluriel d’inukshuk) de l’île de Baffin\, y compris des dessins\, estampes\, sculptures et plus de soixante photographies provenant du riche fonds des Archives Norman E. Hallendy conservées au McMichael. \n  \nLes inuksuit comptent parmi les structures les plus anciennes et les plus importantes jamais érigées dans l’Arctique. Les Inuits ne les considèrent pas comme des œuvres d’art. Ce sont des points de repère et tous ne sont pas à l’image d’un humain. Leurs formes et leurs fonctions sont des plus diverses. Ils servent d’aides à la chasse\, de repères ou de symboles\, de monuments commémoratifs\, ainsi que de lieux de pouvoir et de vénération. Étant donné la nature sacrée de nombreux inuksuit\, ils sont rarement représentés dans l’art inuit. Au cours de la dernière décennie\, l’inukshuk s’est imposé comme symbole des Inuits\, de leur terre\, voire du Canada. \n  \nPudlo Pudlat (1916 1992)Our Mystic Landscape 1990coloured pencil and felt tip pen on paper51 x 64.6 cmThe Norman E.

SUMMARY:J.E.H. MACDONALD : EN DÉTAIL
DESCRIPTION:Compris dans le prix du billet \nGratuit pour les membres Adulte – 18 $\nÉtudiant/Aîné – 15 $\nFamille – 36 $\n(Forfaits des mardis) \nACHETEZ VOS BILLETSJ.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932) Intérieur de l’auberge\, lac O’Hara\, v. 1925 huile sur carton 21\,4 x 26\,6 cm Don des fondateurs Robert et Signe McMichael Collection McMichael d’art canadien 1966.16.36\nJ.E.H MacDonald : En détail célèbre l’art et la démarche artistique de J.E.H. MacDonald à travers des œuvres de la collection du McMichael. La restauratrice Alison Douglas partagera le résultat de ses recherches sur l’artiste. Réunissant des photographies microscopiques\, l’exposition analyse les techniques utilisées par l’artiste\, notamment sa prédilection pour les études de petites dimensions. \nJ.E.H. MacDonald\nJ.E.H. MacDonald est né à Durham\, en Angleterre\, de mère anglaise et de père canadien. Sa famille déménage au Canada en 1887. Il fréquente la Hamilton Art School et la Central Ontario School of Art and Design à Toronto. Il travaille chez Grip Ltd. de 1895 à 1911\, année où Lawren Harris le convainc de se consacrer à la peinture. En 1922\, MacDonald accepte un poste de professeur à temps plein à l’Ontario College of Art. \nSes confrères le décrivent comme un rouquin tranquille et frêle\, affichant l’air rêveur d’un poète et d’un philosophe – un « romantique ». Lors des excursions\, MacDonald ne dessine pas\, mais se plonge dans un livre. Parmi ses œuvres les plus accomplies figurent des paysages sauvages de la région d’Algoma\, en Ontario. MacDonald a également signé recueil de poésie\, West by East\, qui a été publié à titre posthume.

Previous experience using acrylic or pastels is recommended for this class.\nProgram Description\nThose who love to draw will delight in this new\, advanced workshop. Participants will use real life objects as the subjects for their drawings\, with a shadow box and controlled lighting. You will be encouraged to take an unhurried\, contemplative approach to plan your painting. Artists will create a full value drawing and work out composition problems. Participants will be mentored as they determine the level of detail required to transmute the drawing into pastel. Under the guidance of the master pastelist\, you will experience the wonders of interpreting colour into greyscale in this exciting workshop! \nClick here for suggested materials list \nAbout the Artist\nRenowned Barrie-based artist and teacher Margaret Ferraro has exhibited throughout Canada and the United States. Her most illustrious accolades include exhibitions with the Pastel Society of America at the National Art Club in New York City\, and the Pastel Society of Eastern Canada outside Montreal. In 2009\, Ferraro published her first book\, A Time to Dance\, and was named a master pastelist by the Pastel Artists of Canada.  In her work\, Ferraro continuously moves between landscape\, figural and floral subjects\, using a layering technique that incorporates a combination of charcoal\, ink\, acrylic paint and pastels. Texture and colour are the major factors in her compositions.  \nPlease note: All ticket sales are not refundable.
