Dunnville Secondary's Collaborative Library Mural
During the month of November 2019, Lacie Williamson spent a week teaching Grade 10 art students at Dunnville Secondary School.
Using ink, water colour paint, alcohol markers and teamwork, more than two dozen students participated in the making of this mixed media work of art.
While learning new artistic techniques for manipulating ink and water colour, students engaged in repetitive movement to explore themes of fluidity and repetition.
Students were challenged to consider and discuss the roll water plays in our every day lives.
This 9 foot beauty is installed permanently in the school's library.

Mapleview Elementary School's Collaborative Mural
During the month of November 2019 Lacie Williamson spent time in every single classroom in the school in order to facilitate an education art experience.
Students learned how to create non-representational art using wax resist techniques in combination with water colour paint.
The educational art experience would culminate in the collaborative creation of a mural depicting a map of the Great Lakes.
More than 460 students and staff were involved in the creation.
Each individual created a 4x6" sheet of art. Each pieace of art was then sliced into strips, and woven into a large tapestry, before being turned into a map and laminated for protection.
The work of art will remain on display in the elementary school as a reminder of the importance to care of our environment and fresh water.
