The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary  land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.

Animal Architects: Fish Bubbles

Location
Online via Webinarjam
Join AGA Educator Kerri on Saturday mornings at 10am for an exploration of animal architecture.

Join AGA Educator Kerri in our studio this summer and discover the creative habits and building behaviours of animals. Inspired by our children’s gallery exhibition Animal Architects, we’ll examine a new animal or insect each week to better understand how they make and build. Then, we’ll make an artwork inspired by nature’s artistry.

Many fishes lay their eggs in a protective bubble to keep them safe and together in the water. Their homes are wherever the current brings them and usually their whole community travels together. Let us investigate the waters to make our own bubbly art inspired by community and movement.

Gather up the listed supplies from around your home, review our prep list and meet us online on Saturdays at 10am! Register through Webinarjam.

Materials:

  • Bubble mix, Dawn dish soap or Johnson and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo
  • Food colouring
  • Several sheets of white paper (i.e. cardstock, drawing paper, of various sizes)
  • Wax Crayons and or oil pastels
  • Markers
  • Scissors
