Is your Art Department
taking advantage of the Quebec Culture in the Schools program ? This program is a joint venture of the Ministry of Culture and
Communications (MCC) and MEQ. The resource directory lists all the artists who are registered with the program and are available to conduct workshops in the schools. If you have the hard copy- please look at page 167- there is a brief description of my suggested workshop. I love this job! I thoroughly enjoy working with the students to teach them the basics of painting on silk and help them complete their individual or group projects (2-3 day workshop) or work on a project with the whole school like last years "Reach for the Stars' project (15 day project) or the 'Tree of Life' and 'Celestial Bodies' projects (see pictures below) I would love to come to your school and do a silk painting workshop with your students. During a 2 day workshop I can handle up to 30 students from level 1-5 provided there is adequate work space for each participant. (table space 4' x 3'each). I will supply the equipment necessary (frames,brushes etc.) Material cost is $10/student and is usually covered under the funding from MCC. If you aren't taking advantage of the Culture in the Schools program already, may I suggest that you talk to your Principal or School Board representative. If you would like more information from me please contact
me personally. |
