This summer we travelled to the town of White Fox SK, and did a full week of art classes during the day camp there. We provided an outdoor class room experience. As a bonus to the art class we included, drama, singing with music, and face painting.
While many of our materials were traditional we were able to incorporate things from nature.
Our theme was, “everything that grows begins in a seed form.”
Here are some examples of artwork students did incorporating nature.
This spring we did a Mural commission for the Twin Marine Restaurant and fishing outfitter in Nipawin Regional Park.
Step 1
Each project we work on is unique, presenting interesting challenges from which we learn and benefit from. This project was different for us in that it was to be a permanent window painting for the outdoors, instead of a temporary window painting done indoors.
Step 2
Drawing and priming the glass for long lasting results.
Step 3
Step 4
The finished result is a beautiful eye catching mural on the Twin Marine deck overlooking the Nipawin river.
These are paintings done a Care Home in Northern Saskatchewan for Canada’s 150th anniversary.
We’ve just finished a job at the Extra Foods in Nipawin SK. The project took us 4 days to complete.

The summer of 2017 we are preparing to take what the “Four Door Arts Forum” has to offer and travel from location to location with our portable classroom. We will offer forums through music, song and drama, with visual arts and crafts. We preparing to incorporate the benefit of the arts as a service to businesses, camps, conferences, or any establishments that see how the spirit of creativity moves the heart.
In the summer of 2016, music forums were held in an open air tent with an informal atmosphere. Also painting and drawing forums happened with some youth.
