Welcome an artist in residence in your classroom!
Accompanied by a professionnal artist, your students will experience a creative project unlike any other! During this workshop series (5 sessions per class), they will learn to make art from drawings, paper marionnettes, and shadow theatre techniques. They'll put their hands to work to create a music video for a song by a Canadian francophone artist.
L’école à l’œuvre program invites you to work with an artist in a series of multidisciplinary workshops. You’ll be encouraged to let your imagination run free and unleash its full potential, which reaches far beyond dreams and fantasy. It’s a great opportunity to shake up the daily routine and take a fresh look at the world around you.
