RELIEF SCULPTING ART LESSON
In January 2020, the Charles Macdonald House partnered with the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia to bring Charlie Macdonald’s artwork to life through engaging, curriculum-based lesson plans. When circumstances shifted, so did we. The program transformed from an in-class experience into a dynamic virtual offering, opening the door to classrooms across Nova Scotia.
​
While we look forward to the day we can once again create art side by side with students, the virtual format has allowed Charlie’s creative spirit to travel farther than ever. Today, classrooms from coast to coast can explore his work, spark their own creativity, and connect with Nova Scotia’s artistic heritage.
