Grade 11 & 12 Students Travel to MOCA

The Grade 11 and 12 art classes visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Toronto last week to take in the exhibit of Kelly Jazvac's work "Time Scale" and the combined works of Thomas Denmane, Martin Boyce, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Caruso St John entitled "House of Card".
The students learned about Jazvac's upcycling of large plastic billboards that add social context to the combined images. As well, in examining "House of Card" they were exposed to artworks that are interactive as well as incorporating a variety of non-traditional mediums such as Paper sculpture, model making and collage.

In the afternoon, they took part in a studio activity where they worked with collage processes and concepts to create their own pieces. The gallery provided an opportunity for the classes to experience contemporary art, expanding upon what they are learning in class.

Land Acknowledgment

CDS wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. For thousands of years, these have been the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples who also shared this land.  CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for these lands and waters for future generations.
