Cet atelier a vocation à éveiller les enfants à l’art en leur présentant différents artistes, différentes techniques et différents médiums. Certaines séances sont construites autour d’une œuvre ou d’une technique en particulier. Les enfants ont un sketchbook qu’ils agrémentent tout au long de l’année de leurs créations. L’atelier est mené par une éducatrice anglophone et se déroule donc complètement en anglais.

“Art is expression and it allows us to connect, communicate and understand ourselves and the world. Montessori believed in the child’s free will in order for them to become their true selves. What better way to make this connection than through Art.

This class will be given in English and allows for children at various levels to make connections to Art, enriching their English vocabulary and giving them the skills to another way of expressing themselves. The class will focus on introducing and developing basic artistic skills, an introduction to working with different mediums, exploring colour mixing and composition as well as learning about world-famous artists through the aid of classified images and stories. Activities will include drawing, painting, weaving and sculpting.

Some of the activities will relate to our Unesco Oceans awareness project and others will support keeping a greener planet by reusing materials and giving them new life.”
