Form and Structure through the art of Eli Bornstein
Grades 3-6
Saskatoon-based artist Eli Bornstein (b.1922) changed the Canadian art world when he invented the Structurist Relief, a form of modern art that combines the compositional elements of sculpture and painting. Inspired by Bornstein’s innovative works, this guide encourages students in their understanding of form by experimenting with materials and analyzing the elements that make a stable structure.
