Coming in January at the NAC


Which one is the fraud? Come see these tiny science experiments before they find their way across North America. Young Mad Scientists will be examining these tiny paintings trying to figure out which one is a fake.

Up to 80 pictures will be on display all at once, creating the illusion of a flock of birds flying towards a sunset as seen through a large scenic window. Once over, the set will be broken into pairs, each set containing a 'real' painting, and a 'fake' painting. The young students will then learn one way science can be used to help art historians determine the authenticity of artworks.

Laurie Boese has been teaching art classes since 1988. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1994, and a Bachelor of Education in 1996. He has been entertaining and educating children as a Mad Scientist for over 5 years.
