Painting the Canadian Landscape
It's tough to decide which brings me greater joy: making art or teaching art. So I decided I don't have to decide. I do both. I could wax eloquent about how important tapping into our creative selves is, but why don't I just come to your workplace for a time and we can explore this together? We can call it group therapy, business development, morale boosting, art education or serious play (which was the name of my last workshop).
A warning: this may unleash some serious creativity and joy. It may even lower your stress levels or make you feel euphoric, curious, fearless, and maybe even a little bit like a kid.
It's easy! I will actually come to visit you.
I live in Edmonton, but I'm allowed to go wherever I like, because I'm a grown up. So let's make it happen.
teacher's development & workshops
Play & Learn
I offer PD day workshops to give teachers the opportunity to hone their skills, learn new ones, or to simply play with art materials because teachers need to decompress and refill their creative souls.
Edmonton Public School teachers can sign up for my Saturday workshops through Local 37.
I am happy to arrange workshops for other groups too.
ATA's Local 37 Teachers'
Wee Watercolour Workshop
January 18th 2020
Hosted another watercolour workshop open to all Edmonton Public School teachers. This workshop focused on working on a variety of techniques simultaneously on a number of 4x6" minis. Teacher's could work on their skills & take home a number of potential projects to teach their students.
Teachers' Mural
A number of murals were done with the grade 5s & 6s at Ardrossan Elementary School.
Why should students have all the fun? This one was done by the teachers.
