Underwater World Art

Saturday, August 15, 2026
2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
North York Central Library — Auditorium
Dive into creativity at the North York Central Library with an afternoon dedicated to exploring vibrant aquatic worlds. Perfect for budding artists, this hands-on workshop invites children to bring their own imaginative underwater scenes to life on paper.
Participants will experiment with a dynamic mix of mediums, utilizing rich pastels and fluid watercolours to build depth and colour. Kids will even learn a clever artistic trick: using ordinary table salt to create stunning, organic textures that mimic sea foam, coral, and distant ocean currents.
What to Expect
Designed for school-aged children between 6 and 12 years old, this free workshop provides all necessary art supplies and a supportive environment to practice foundational drawing and painting techniques. It’s a wonderful way to spark imagination and keep kids engaged during the summer months.
Getting There
The North York Central Library is located at 5120 Yonge Street, directly above the North York Centre subway station. Its central location makes it an easy transit trip from anywhere along Line 1.
Registration opens on Tuesday, August 4 at 9:00 AM. Be sure to sign up early through the Toronto Public Library website under the participant's name, as spots for these popular creative sessions fill up fast.
