metafora: beyond words
DESCRIPTION
Metafora is a celebration of youth art from the GTA. Works by high-school students will be published in this first collaborative youth art book of its kind.TRANSCRIPT
What is art?
“Art begins when a man, with the purpose of communicating to other people a feeling he once experienced, calls it up again within himself and expresses it
by certain external signs” - Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes words aren’t enough to express our feelings. We use art to make up for what we can’t write, what we can’t say.
Metafora is a compilation of art from Greater Toronto Area students which attempts to bridge the gap that our words sometimes leave behind. As
Tolstoy elucidates, art is something that elicits an emotional response in the viewer. By bringing you this collection, we hope to achieve this.
Each piece has been carefully crafted and curated by our dedicated team. Please enjoy.
Note: This is a sample collection—the final publication will include 20-25 works selected from artists’ submissions, which will be collected until the end
of May.
