This week we started an artist study of Arthur Villeneuve. He was a painter from Quebec who started painting when he was 46 years old. He painted murals on the inside and outside of his house with scenes of his community and historical events. He called it “Musée de l’artiste” which means “Museum of the Artist” in French. You can take a virtual tour of his house online. This week we learned a little bit about Arthur Villeneuve’s life and we also started painting our own “maison”. Today we went for a walk to observe buildings in our community that we can add to our own mural. I am looking forward to seeing how this project develops over the next couple of weeks!
