In this art encounter, students will explore the impact of art on community well-being. By analysing and comparing Mattias Grünewald’s Isenheim Altarpiece, and the Keiskamma Altarpiece, students will gain an understanding of how art can uplift and empower communities in need. The lesson is based on the story, ‘Tapestries for Hope: Promoting Healthy and Vibrant Communities in the Eastern Cape of South Africa’, written by Annette Wentworth for Keiskamma Canada Foundation, a charitable organization based in Edmonton, as part of the Together: Alberta’s Notebook on the Global Goals.
