EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS
This collection presents projects created during the Option Arts et Scénographie grades 10 & 11 classes I taught at the Pierre-de-Lestage High School in Berthierville from 1998 to 2010. Puppets, masks, large format murals, costumes, scale models, animation, nature arts... Students created hundreds of works either solo, as a team or as a collective. This creative workshop served as a laboratory, an open door to explore freedom of expression and to develop an understanding of the importance of effort and perseverance, and of thoroughness and precision when producing art. Preliminary research allowed students to broaden their horizons, to explore the many possibilities, to spread their wings...
I like the idea that the images available online can serve to inspire other creative projects in other schools. Working closely with 16-17-year-olds during the workshops has been a source of great stimulation: observing and assisting them in their desire to assert their individuality through art was a privilege.
Many thanks to Vianney Gravel, Francine Bettez and Jacques Belhumeur. And thank you to Michel Jasmin, Sylvie Brousseau, Julie Desroches, Micheline Brais and the school team whose heartfelt enthusiasm helped Art find its place throughout the school.
