VAS Annual Art Show 2021

Art as Self-Care

As challenging as 2020 was, and 2021 has already been, self-care has become a main focus in all of our lives and it is time to display that through our art! Whether your piece was created as a means for you to relax, as something for others to enjoy, or if your art showcases the theme of Self-Care in any way, we are happy to share it with the McGill community!

Scroll through some amazing student art, as we celebrate and explore art as self-care:)

Marquist rug

By: Maxime Guglielmetti

I made this as a winter break project after coming across rug making videos on YouTube. I decided to make a koi fish because it's I think it's the coolest animal😎. The whole piece was made by hand using a punch needle and a lot of yard. Marquist is the name of my brand with which I make custom shirts and sneakers😁

Linocut

By: Mitch Strong

Considering the theme is art for self care, ya’ll gotta try Linocutting. Getting the perfect cut and having it curl away from the block is enough to let you forget all about the 20 page paper you haven’t started writing… and when you finally ink it up… you’ll forget crushing reality that we are adults now. Plus you can stamp your own shirts.

Spotify

Though I have a notorious taste in music, I find it very fun to take a moment and customize my Spotify space. If you’re looking for some wack grind vibes, find me on Spotify: @itchymitch
