very day last week, 100 stuâ€" dents of the Halton Board of Education descended upon the Agricultural Museum in Milton. As educational and historic as the facility is, the students were not there to view farm equipment of bygone years or be spectators to the milking of cows. The rustic setting, however, with the kaleidoscope of changing leaves on the escarpment in full view, proâ€" vided them with the inspiration for the project which drew them all here â€" Art in the Fall ©94 â€" an intense inâ€" depth visual arts workshop in a variety of mediums including oil painting, clay, pottery or papermaking. The mammoth event encompasses 400 students from more than 40 schools throughout the region. Art in the Fall ‘©94 is a reâ€"vamping of the preâ€" viously held Halton Visual Arts camp. By KATHY YANCHUS Oakville Beaver Staff The June camp, only open to eleâ€" mentary students and located near Bancroft, was limited in its enrollment and was not as accessible to Halton students as is the Museum. "This allows us to serve a lot more kids in our first year and we‘re expectâ€" ing and hoping to double that next year," said Chairman of the event, Rick Cullis, an art instructor at E.C. Drury High School. The participating students, â€" selected by art teachers from Grades 7 to OAC â€" will be involved in "intenâ€" sive" studio for an entire day. "It doesn‘t matter what media," At the end of each day, students proceed to a large meeting room called the Town Hall, where they "put down their work and then walk around and see what everyone else has produced that day. It will be a miniâ€" show." A turnâ€"ofâ€"the â€"century barn at the Ontario Agricultural Museum in Milton served as a classroom for Halton students taking part in Art in the Fall ©94 last week.

"I want them to have the time to There will also be the opportunity for senior secondary students to garner leadership skills as some are being slotted as instructional assistants or group leaders, said Cullis. The preparation of the event, a year in the planning, has been a huge undertaking by several teachers who have organized everything from solicâ€" iting the help of community and teaching artists, as well as scouring for materials and supplies. "We are tying in visual arts with the environment," explained Carol Jenkins, of W.H. Morden. "Our theme is art and nature; a lot of the studios are related to nature." Jenkins hopes this is the first of In addition, she said students will have the opportunity to meet other students with similar interests and inspire younger ones since the groups will be heterogeneous as far as age is concerned. Cullis remembers vividly similar experiences when he was attending school and he wants to implant the same memories in the minds of Art in the Fall participants. "I want them to have the time to spend a whole day in a studio geared to their interest," said Jenkins. "I want as many kids as possible to get the kind of feeling they do get with this intensive art experience in a natuâ€" ral environment," he said. ‘‘They realâ€" ly don‘t forget it. It‘s an experience they keep with them for a long time."
