Woodlands Art

Contemporary Canadian Indigenous artists have produced three major schools of art. In this workshop, Victoria will help you discover Woodland art – its’ artists, traditions, imagery and style. We will spend time looking at and discussing the art and look at the role Norval Morrisseau played in the development of the style.
