One key to this, says Diederichs, is to provide the young students with just enough information to begin creating but not give them all the answers so that their work can evolve on its own. In order to make this happen, Diederichs has drawn from her "bank" of enthusiastic artists and invited "Rather than just (teach) techâ€" niques, it‘s exciting to bring in guest artists to teach them to think, to look and to understand," she explained. "Kids are really receptive when you start laying down (materials.) They are quite fascinated if they‘re given room to explore, to push what they can do." "Middle March!" â€" Oakville Galleries‘ series of March Break workshops â€" promises to provide a challenging week for all those who take part. According to public programs coâ€" ordinator Rebecca Diederichs, the activities that have been planned are Wearable Art and the creation of Storytelling Dioramas. The classes themselves represent a continuation of the philosophies stressed in the Galleries‘ fall classes.

The finished creations can be based on either existing stories or those of the child‘s own invention. Wearable Art will employ everyâ€" thing from tissue paper and fabrics to basket reed and weaving "to create works of sculpture with a direct relaâ€" tion to the student‘s own body," explained Diederichs. The finished works won‘t be mere costumes or accessories but "extensions" of the body. Students who enroll for either five mornings or five afternoons will be exposed to and benefit from each artist‘s philosophies. Noyes and Ennist already know each other and haven worked out the program together. Ennist, an instructor at Sheridan College, specializes in paperâ€"making and construction. Noyes is a multiâ€" media artist who works for the North York Board of Education. Both artists are involved in integrated programs which combine the study of visual art, music and other disciplines.
