Fun Times at the Art Gallery of Ontario!

Hi readers!

We had a great time at the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday! Families made shadow puppets, took family-friendly tours, and competed in an “Around the World of the AGO” race.

Here are some of the highlights from the chickaDEE Family Sunday event:

Here’s Chirp editor, Jackie, and I ready to hand out free activity bags at our table!

Here’s 6-year-old Kalle showing off her cool shadow puppet of a sea turtle.

Check out some of the shadow puppets at work!

Thanks to everyone who came out and the Art Gallery of Ontario for teaming up with us. We had a blast!

Did You Know? Amazing Art Records!

Hi readers,

I love art! One of my favourite places to go see art is the city of Chicago. I visited Chicago back in October and I had a great time visiting their museums and looking at the sculptures in the parks. Here’s one of my favourite sculptures I saw in Chicago called Windy City Dinosaur.

Cool, huh? Since I enjoy art so much, one of my favourite issues to work on is definitely chickaDEE’s annual Arts and Crafts issue. I had lots of fun researching art world records for the Did You Know? page. Click on the links for more info on these arty records.

See the world’s most expensive painting ever sold here.

See one of the world’s smallest sculptures here.

See the world’s most ancient art here.

See the world’s biggest painting by a single artist here.

Which one is your favourite? I think the small sculpture is pretty cool!

Talk to you later,

Mandy
