I Can Make Art ... Like Maud Lewis
Description
Maud Lewis drew on her happiest memories to paint delightful pictures of her
world. Despite being stricken with physical disabilities from an early age,
the celebrated Nova Scotia folk artist found joy in painting scenes of country
life on canvases, greeting cards and on the very walls of her tiny one-room
home.
In I Can Make Art Like Maud Lewis, a group of
Grade 6 students is inspired by her incredible life and work. With the help of
folk artist Kyle Jackson, they create a folk art painting of their own
downtown neighbourhood.
Informative, deeply touching and filled with the magic of creation, I
Can Make Art Like Maud Lewis shows both the power and simple
pleasure of folk art.
I Can Make Art is a series of six short films
that take a kids'-eye view on a diverse group of Canadian visual artists.
