Maryhill Museum has over eighty works of art by Auguste Rodin, the father of modern sculpture. Classrooms are invited to follow Rodin's life journey from a young, idealistic art student to the creator of the emotional, controversial forms of his later life. What made him a great sculptor? Why do we know his work? Included is a sculpture art making activity.
