Group of Seven

In the Grade 11/12 class, we discussed the Group of Seven today.  We talked about their members through history, their connection to the Canadian landscape, and how we as Canadians connect to our environment as part of our cultural identity.  We reviewed the steps of a critique and chose a work from the Group of Seven to practise our four important steps of art critique:

- Description
- Analysis
- Interpretation
- Judgement or Evaluation

As a parting note, here is the quote from Lawren Harris that discussed for your thoughts:

“Art is long. Life is short. A picture can become for us a highway between a particular thing and a universal feeling.”
