Rhythm
Art and science keep the beat

The Montréal Science Centre is proud to present the work of nearly 750 elementary students who took part in the Student Artists project.

For inspiration, the young artists visited the Science 26 exhibition at the Science Centre, where they learned about and played with scientific concepts associated with rhythm. They also toured the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, and admired pieces in which rhythm is expressed through colours, lines and textures.

Then the students created a piece reflecting this marriage of science and art, using sculpture, mixed media and installation techniques.

Their creations, showcasing their rhythmic view of the world around them, are displayed in our corridors. Catch the beat!
