Listening with Paint

Listening with Paint is an intiative of the Arts Centre’s own Heritiage Chamber Players. This innovative program for school children has been developed in consultation with arts educator, Marilyn Schick. Listening with Paint is not only geared towards enriching the listening experience, but seeks to engage and encourage participants to join in with their own creative expression.

Students visit the Arts Centre as a class for an "up close" encounter with the building, its art, the musicians and their music. In turn they are guided in accessing their own creative response to this experience and expressing it through painting.

The next sessions of Listening with Paint are being offered in May to the Kindergarten through to Grade Four classes of the Hamiota Elementary School.

The MidWest Arts Council is very pleased to be able to offer Listening with Paint without cost to the school children and is grateful for the generous support of:
