This workshop for 10 to 12 year olds offers a new way "of seeing" the familiar world of Lunenburg. Guided by the instructor, students will record—in their own chosen style and in their own self-made book—their observations of town architecture and street-life, the waterfront, the landscape and the Maritime history as presented at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. Using many different techniques and materials, students will begin to build confidence in their individual styles of art.

The instructor, Jennie Carton has certification as an art teacher. Having raised four children, she has recently moved back to Lunenburg after an extensive career in academia. Her educational interests focus on prê-teen years as an important transition in artistic development and confidence. Her studio work concentrates particularly on metal and paper collage with drawing techniques on Plexiglas.
