Collaborative Mural Workshops 2016
"Dewey Système Décimal"
École St. Joseph, Ville D'Anjou,
Québec
20 avril 2016
In the year 2000, I started to offer a Collaborative
Mural Painting Workshop to the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications
for their "Artists in the Schools Program". Since then, I
have completed more than 160 workshops in over 110 schools under this
and other programs. This page outlines the project
I offer and the results of the projects done in 2016. For other projects,
visit the links on the right side.
Collaborative Mural Painting
The workshop plans and executes a monumental collaborative
painting (mural) over three days. The scale of a mural fosters great
freedom of expression and artistic accomplishment within the context
of cooperation and compromise.
Prior to my arrival, the theme is decided according to local interests.
Students research elements relating to the theme.
The first day looks at collaboration (boundaries - keeping or crossing
them) and painting (balance, colour, composition), especially as it
relates to monumental works (seen from a distance). Drawing exercises
on a small scale practice collaboration. Exercises are analyzed. The
mural is prepared.
The second day the mural is painted. Discussion continues on the elements
of painting, collaboration and introduces the art of compromise (individual
versus group identity).
The third day we discuss, "Is it finished?". After analysis
of the elements of a monument, the group decides, and finishes if necessary.
If your school, company or group would be interested
in a workshop, please contact me. For futher details about the workshops,
their purpose, skills learned, material and space required, visit "Mural
Workshop Details".
The final mural is shown for all schools and the entire creative process
can be seen for St. Mark's School, Symmes
Junior High School, École
polyvalente Nicolas Gatineau, Riverdale
High School, École Monseigneur-Forget,
École Poupore and Buckingham
Elementary School by clicking on their names above.
