STUDENT WORK
ART EDUCATION & PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Projects
These presentations were developed by students to convey their rationale for a proposed arts-based workshop and to demonstrate the creative process to their classmates. The objective is to provide documentation that offers insight into the topic that inspired their project as well as clear instructions for how to participate.
2. GIBIDEWESHINIMIN: WE ARE HEARD WALKIng here
A sound and performative walk on the theme of Peace or what it means to peacefully coexist with peoples who share the same land. The project was guided with Anishnaabe/French artist Emilie Monnet and co-created with students from Louis Joseph Papineau high school.
3.DOCUMENTATION FROM ARTS-BASED INQUIRY WORKSHOPS (Botanical Inks)
I offer this workshop to multiple classes to illustrate the connection between historical artmaking processes and the contemporary revival of mineral pigments and botanical inks. Making inks engages students in tactile and ludic experimentation that involves accessible and reproducible ecological art processes.
These are student works made with inks that they derived from hibiscus leaves and tumeric powder on watercolor paper.
4. CYANOTYPE PHOTOGRAM WORKSHOPS
Cyanptype printing workshops introduce the fundamentals of photography, increase awareness of the extraordinary in the ordinary, and allow for experimentation with collective curatorial strategies.
These images portray exploratory works created by high school and elementary groups. The majority of students are introduced to cyanotype photograms during this workshop.
5. INTRODUCTION TO PAPERCUTTING
These works were created during a 4-day intense introductory course to papercutting for adult learners with various artistic experience, but no previous experience with papercutting.
