About
Beehive Collective Botanical Art
Saturday and Sunday, 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm
Try your hand at botanical art. Draw a single flower from Spadina's gardens on a hexagonal piece of paper, taking care to include details like the petals, the stem, and the leaves. When displayed together, the hexagon artworks will make a honeycomb-like shape and show off the diversity of flowers in our gardens.
Community Tree
Choose an apple or leaf template to trace, cut out or colour. Once completed, you can take your art home or add it to our tree mural for all to see.
Blind Contour Drawing
Saturday and Sunday, 10:30 am, 11:30 am, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, 4 pm
Learn to sketch the outline of a subject without looking at the paper. This drawing technique is used to free creativity and the results are truly surprising!
Colouring Station
Drawers big and small can fill paper with pictures and scribbles of all different colours, with the goal being to try to fill up all the blank space by end of day.
Plus get inspired by Spadina's beautiful furnishings, wallpapers, artworks and artifacts to create your masterpiece, and participate in a collaborative art project by helping create a giant mandala.
