The student was paired up with a partner and together they would work on creating their art. When you work side-by-side, it\u2019s much more natural and easy to speak and to get to know each other &#8211; the emphasis not only on creating the art together and taking a workshop in art but also their friendship and the growth of their relationship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s incredibly important to link the past and the future and there are so many seniors who need grandchildren, in a way, and so many grandchildren who need grandparents &#8211; a need on the part of the kid and a need on the part of the senior to make connections with people outside of their own age and, in this case, it makes people feel beholden to something bigger than themselves and interested in something outside themselves. The past, the history of this person who was a woodcutter or used to be the mayor of the town&#8230; all those things spark the kids and, in the same way, the seniors are so energized by the kids and by caring about new people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think it hits on a lot of things in the curriculum especially if you do work toward having the kids write biographies of themselves so that they can present them to their partners. You can also have them interview their partners. But especially the principles of citizenship and community-mindedness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I saw a lot of generosity on the part of the children and on the part of the seniors. By far the most touching thing to watch was the relationships grow. The art was beautiful, they made some beautiful things, but more than that was to see them be able to reach out to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

Coordinator)<\/strong>: Being isolated and in a remote area, sometimes the opportunities are not available for our kids, like to experience different things for a longer period of time. So the school board has a database of artists and things that they pick from, and sometimes we don&#8217;t even get to pick who comes to our school, they just send someone &#8211; and that person is usually only here for like an hour, two hours maximum. With this project, the great thing about it was that they spent six weeks here. It gave the students more of an opportunity to experience things that they would not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stacey Christodoulou (artist)<\/strong>: What I did was a six-week theatre performance workshop and I helped the kids here do a presentation at the end of the six weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Helen Morency (CLC Coordinator)<\/strong>: She taught them how to project their voice in a way so that everyone could understand and hear. She taught them movement, a little bit, about being less self-conscious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stacey Christodoulou (artist)<\/strong>: One of my goals was to incorporate their history through their personal stories. So what we did is we did some theatre exercises, we talked about performance. The two groups were very different and one had a whole play that they constructed about the history of Chevery and the group had more personal vignettes of their time in Harrington Harbour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Helen Morency (CLC Coordinator)<\/strong>: Angela\u2019s project in 2018 was a haiku book with haikus, photos and drawings created by our students. Multiple grade levels and teachers were involved with both schools. Angela spent one to two classes per week with each group teaching the different forms of Japanese poetry. Our students became very proficient at creating haikus thanks to Angela.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Angela Leuck (artist)<\/strong>: I taught primarily Japanese short-form poetry, but some of the other students were quite talented as writers and I was really happy to have met a couple of very exceptional students that I hope I managed to get them a little further along the path toward writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Helen Morency (CLC Coordinator)<\/strong>: There was a celebration in each school where students and Angela shared what they had created with the community. It was an amazing project that was enjoyed by students, teachers, and I think Angela. Hopefully we will get to continue with this project into year three.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div
