Culture in the Schools

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.
Go to their web site for details and application forms. http://www.mcc.gouv.qc.ca/rencontres

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.
