Outback Riviera offering "Creative Expression" art sessions

Outback Riviera is one of the associations in Saint Cezaire selected to offer after school activities as part of TAP (activités periscolaires).  Children in the school will have the opportunity to express themselves through images. Children will be encouraged to use their creativity to tell stories through art. Some of the projects include creating an Egyptian Hieroglyphic of their name, telling a story of hunting as a prehistoric boy or girl to create a drawing in the "prehistoric" style, create a character and using it to tell a story as a comic strip and more.

Hopefully we will be able to extend lessons beyond the after school activities beginning in January, offering sessions for those who would like to join the association.

We are looking for donations of art supplies; crayons, pastels, watercolors, markers and paper. So, if you have any of these items lying around not being used that you would like to donate, please email me. Here area few of the works created by the children...

 

Outback Riviera at the Fête des Associations, St Cezaire

Once again this year, Outback Riviera was present at the village's Fête des Association along with numerous other sports and cultural associations, including "Happy English". We were fortunate to have a pleasant day under sunny skies.

Children were able to test their knowledge of Provence and of English with two quizzes and coloring sheets were provided for the children during the day.  Completed quizzes and drawings were placed in a box for a drawing at the end of the day. Our four winners received gifts donated by the associations
