Galileo’s new student art gallery

by Vera Tronca, Lisa Trotto and Tima Assi

Galileo’s student-artists are at it again as they embark on beautifying the centre’s second-floor passageway. They are reinventing the area and transforming it into a viewing gallery with artwork created by students. It will also become a more welcoming area for students to sit, relax and talk about the art surrounding them. 

The project’s aim is to embellish the hallway with student artwork and enhance their motor skills during the creative process. It encompasses several segments: 

The Dreamy Corner: Six canvases with 3D effects. 
The Artwork Space: 15 circular wooden canvases inspired by nature and Spring. Students used techniques that included merging colours and creating colourful backgrounds and combining canvases using wooden sticks and inserting beads to unite aesthetic and sensory benefits. 

The Mosaic Collection: Mosaic tiles make up a montage of diverse canvases. 

The Abstract Collection: Using art therapy and abstract painting techniques to create colourful canvases.
