January's exploration for the Sensory Exploration Arts (SEA) Program is "Tasting Cold": Flavored Ice and Snow.  Our emerging artists will explore the tastes, textures and temperatures of flavored ice and snow, and then engage in creating collage, sculpture, printmaking and painting with snow and ice.

Icicle Sculptures will be made at Bob Rumball Associations for the Deaf in Milton on January 11th, using plastic icicles, cold beads and metal with acrylic paints mixed with snow.

At the Varley Art Gallerly in Markham on January 16th, Snow Printimaking will feature snow hand prints on paper . Our participants, who are all sensory impaired, will dip hands onto coloured flavored snow and create prints on paper with visiting artist Ruth Wilgress.

On January 18th at the Georgina Art Centre & Gallery in Sutton, ice watercolour paitnings will be created using food colouring on textured papers and flavored ice.

Barrie participants will explore the textures, smells and tastes of flavored ice and snow on February 1st at the Maclaren Art Centre and create a Cold Collage using beads, glass and paints mixed with snow and ice.
