In 2020, we have the rare opportunity to enjoy this spooky season under a blue moon, the second full moon in less than one month.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary Canadian artist Steve Driscoll was inspired by the northern lights to create his large-scale painting <em>Like a daydream, or a fever<\/em> (2016).<\/p>\n<p>Using pigmented urethane to create his landscapes, the artist created an effect that is almost magical when the urethane dries into clear layers.

Have you ever seen the northern lights?<\/li>\n<li>How did the artist recreate the feeling of the northern lights swirling and moving up the canvas?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Activity description:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Layer oil pastels (or wax crayons) and watercolour paint to create a magical nocturnal landscape painting. Use your view of the evening sky or your imagination to create a moonlit masterpiece that captures the essence of Halloween night.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes art can be magical. Some materials, like oil and water, can even work together in a way that seems otherworldly. In this activity, we will explore what happens when we experiment with materials that don\u2019t really get along.<\/p>\n<p>Before we begin, envision the time of day that you would like to paint and reflect on the colours, objects and texture that you\u2019d like to include in your landscape. Steve Driscoll paints his picture from a \u201cworm\u2019s-eye view\u201d while looking up towards a big sky. Choose a viewpoint that you prefer, then begin sketching a landscape using a wax or oil-based material. Both wax and oil will resist your watercolour, so be sure to leave some areas of your surface uncovered. Start with the lightest colours and then build the darker colours on top. Experiment with layers of thin watercolour paint on top of your wax\/oil and watch the magic happen!<\/p>\n<div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-span-no fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#28a745;--button_accent_hover_color:#28a745;--button_border_hover_color:#28a745;--button_border_width-top:1px;--button_border_width-right:1px;--button_border_width-bottom:1px;--button_border_width-left:1px;--button-border-radius-top-left:2px;--button-border-radius-top-right:2px;--button-border-radius-bottom-right:2px;--button-border-radius-bottom-left:2px;--button_gradient_top_color:rgba(40,53,61,0);--button_gradient_bottom_color:rgba(40,53,61,0);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:rgba(40,167,69,0.1);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:rgba(40,167,69,0.1);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/mcmichael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/McMichael_MoonliteMagic_StepByStep.pdf\"><i class=\" fa fa-file-o awb-button__icon awb-button__icon--default button-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Download Step-By-Step Instructions<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-9a56658371db694e9 fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_9a56658371db694e9\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"9a56658371db694e9\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-37223536658-1\" data-target=\"#9a56658371db694e9\" href=\"#9a56658371db694e9\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Gallery Explorers: Once Upon A Blue Moon<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"9a56658371db694e9\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_9a56658371db694e9\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>There are several notable artworks in the McMichael&rsquo;s permanent collection that showcase the fascination many great artists have had with the starry night sky and nocturnal landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>From Tom Thomson\u2019s evening vistas of Algonquin Park, to Frederick Varley&rsquo;s paintings of the Vancouver skyline at night, the Group of Seven and their contemporaries frequently explored the effects of moonlight on colours and shadows.

Through their poses and facial expressions, these wolves attempt to share their stories with the public.

He drew inspiration from the legends of his Anishinaabe heritage\u2014which had previously only been shared through the oral tradition of storytelling\u2014and brought the characters and creatures to life on a painted canvas. In his work <em>Thunderbird with Inner Spirit<\/em> (c. 1978), Morrisseau is telling us about his culture and about himself through the spirit of the animal.<\/p>\n<p>Like Morrisseau, many artists have used non-traditional materials to make their art. Although we may not think of acrylic paint as a non-traditional material, at the time <em>Thunderbird with Inner Spirit<\/em> was painted, the acrylic paint was a fairly new innovation and not commonly used by professional artists.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re going to challenge you to paint a self-portrait of your spirit animal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exploration Questions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trace the outline of the thunderbird with your finger and try to identify all the different parts.<\/li>\n<li>Can you find the inner spirit?

Try to keep count on your fingers.<\/li>\n<li>What information can you figure out about the artist by looking at\u00a0his self-portrait?

This unusual living arrangement allowed him to work close to his family, including his wife Esther and young daughter Marjorie, while still being able to paint anytime he wished. Lismer was free from the need to dress formally\u2014he only needed comfortable clothes and his slippers.<\/p>\n<p>In this self-portrait, Lismer decided to portray himself in this very personal space while taking a break from painting. Standing in the center of the room, in front of an unfinished canvas, Lismer smokes a pipe while making a quick pencil sketch. We can see by the state of the floor that it was probably not his first of the day. If you look carefully, you can spot a red apple sitting ready for a quick snack.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37223538191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37223538191\" style=\"width: 715px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-37223538191 \" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27715%27%20height%3D%27842%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20715%20842%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27715%27%20height%3D%27842%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/1971.10_WEB-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"715\" height=\"842\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37223538191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arthur Lismer (1885\u20131969), Self Portrait, 1924, oil on board, 91 x 76.3 cm, Gift of Mr. A.J.
