Visual Arts

Website created by curriculum renewal teacher writer Danyelle Armbruster, who is remotely teaching her K-8 arts education classes from Emerald Ridge Elementary School in White City, SK.  The website she has created for her students is rich with video assignments and demonstrations that kids can interact with. 

Her videos demonstrate arts techniques, and she stays connected to the students in a more personal way than if she were relying solely on commercially-produced videos or online materials. Mrs. Armbruster motivates and communicates through video with her students.

With thanks to support from the Toronto Arts Council – Kick Start Arts! have created these arts videos illustrating simple creative projects you can do from home!

MASC is embarking on a new journey and is pleased to present its new Online Program offered to schools, senior’s venues and communities. Now, more than ever we need access to cultural and artistic experiences to enrich our lives in meaningful ways and incite creativity, while preserving both, health and social distancing. Our new reality demands the adaption and integration of new technologies in the cultural and educational sector, and MASC is excited to contribute to the development of this new field.  

Pencils & Plums is an easy-to-use website with thousands of creative drawing ideas for kids of all ages, featuring drawing prompts, pictures to finish, and a free pdf ebook.

The Textile Museum of Canada’s collection consists of more than 15,000 objects including a salmon skin suit from China; 2,000 year old Nazca fragments from Peru; and a hooked rug by artist Florence Ryder (Standing Buffalo Reserve, Saskatchewan) that incorporates traditional Sioux designs.

While only a small percentage of the collection can be displayed in their galleries at once, the online collection allows you to access all 15,000+ objects from over 200 regions of the world, 24 hours a day!
