Discovery workshop on the exhibition Joyce Wieland: Heart-On
A multidisciplinary Canadian artist known for her ingenious exploration of a wide range of materials, Joyce Wieland invites us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant stories shaped by her imagination.
Deeply attuned to her time, Joyce Wieland’s experimental films, assemblage and quilt works have received widespread acclaim for their inventiveness and engagement with issues that remain relevant today, including feminism, social justice, politics and ecology.

Activities
Arts education: communicating an idea
15 minutes
Explore how graphic representation can change the meaning of words. Start by asking students to write down a word while playing with its shape to suit the message to be conveyed. For example, the word “friend” could be written with dots and then with curves. Or the word “school” in different colours and then all in black. Then reflect on how these differences affect our perception of the word.
To delve further into this topic
Admire the work The Lute Player by artist Shary Boyle, whose themes are similar to those explored by Wieland (feminism, social engagement, experimentation).
