SEC. III STUDENTS VISIT KENT MONKMAN

Ms. Fainsilber’s Culture and Citizenship in Quebec (CCQ) class took a quick stroll down the hill to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for a guided tour of Kent Monkman’s exhibition History Is Painted by the Victors. Not only did Monkman’s artwork tie in with the CCQ curriculum, but its bright, inviting colours, dynamic and moving scenes, immense canvases, and Monkman’s unforgettably powerful alter ego awed the class. Inspired by his talent, the Sec. IIIs had the opportunity to create their own pieces of art that reflected on themes from the exhibition. Thanks to Ms. Violini, Ms. Singh and Ms. Douglas for accompanying the class.
