    2008 Special thanks to our volunteer photographers: Alan Dunlop (including cover), Catherine Guillame Chow, Dario Sante and Julian Sale. DAREarts EMPOWERING AT RISK CHILDREN DAREarts is arts education that empowers ‘at risk’ children. This is the best day of my life. DAREarts child, 9 DAREarts dares children to make positive choices in their lives through educational experiences in art, architecture, dance, drama, design, fashion, literature, music, – all the arts. You are saving this child from the wrong crowd. Principal DAREarts is a national, not-for-profit organization which stands for Discipline, Action and Responsibility in Education. DAREarts’ 5-year all-the-arts program empowers ‘at risk’ 9–14 year olds who have been chosen from elementary schools in less advantaged areas to become leaders. The children paint, sculpt, sing, dance, compose, design, write, act and create as they ‘travel’ through the centuries exploring world cultures, guided by arts professionals. The children gain self esteem and leadership skills and then return to their schools to teach their classmates. Since 1996, DAREarts has flourished in Ontario and is expanding across Canada, influencing over 10,000 children yearly.

The little things – incidental information, local perspective, stopping for a hot dog and papaya juice – those kinds of ‘extras’ are what make a trip memorable and unique. Our Tour Escort helped to make this the trip of a lifetime for many of us. The EPT Customized Workshops & Master Classes are what attracted us to your organization, and we were not disappointed.

  • OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates
    OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates: Michelle Astrug (Faculty of Design) Michelle Astrug is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Design, teaching in Graphic Design. She is applying for senate because she is interested in actively participating in University governance. Claire Brunet (Faculty of Art) Claire Brunet is a sculptor and Associate Professor in Media and installation art; Sculpture/Installation program and Fabrication Studio Bronze Casting and Digital Processes at OCAD University in Toronto. In June 2014 Brunet completed a PhD degree in Fine Arts, in the Interdisciplinary Program (INDI) at Concordia University in Montreal. Her research work explores expanded spatial boundaries and the influence of a 3D digital and technological context on the artist’s creative process in sculpture practice. Brunet’s sculpture project proposes opposing temporal forces—a 3D digital and technological spatial approach as a mode of production, in opposition to a critical discourse in regard to living species and their relation to their natural environment—which stresses the opposing values of an hypermodern society (Lipovetsky 2005). Brunet has presented projects and papers at conferences in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Canada. Her publications include: Exploring Data Space, in The Faculty of Art Newsletter (OCAD U, Toronto, 2012); “Extending Spatial Boundaries Through Sculpture Practices: Exploring Natural and 3D Technological Environments” in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (Illinois: CG Publishing, 2012); McLuhan and Extended Environment: Affect and Effect of a 3D Digital Medium on Sculpture Practice, in Y.

  • Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada?
    College Quarterly Winter 2013 - Volume 16 Number 1 (../index.html) Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada? Home By Reiko (Leiko) Shimizu (../index.html) Studio-based degrees in fine arts and design are not often written Contents about in higher education literature. Perhaps it is because art and design (index.html) education is misunderstood – students are viewed as “finding themselves” or have unrealistic dreams of becoming the next big artist. Perhaps the studio-based nature of the curriculum does not intrigue researchers to write about issues that concern it, or perhaps it is because anyone can call themself an artist without having an academic credential. Ten years ago, urban theorist Richard Florida coined the term the “creative class” as individuals who “do a wide variety of work in a wide variety of industries – from technology to entertainment, journalism to finance, high- end manufacturing to the arts….they share a common ethos that values creativity, individuality, difference, and merit” (Florida, 2002, para. 8). According to Florida the creative class helps build economic development; therefore, our cities should be nurtured to be more inviting to these types of individuals. This emphasis on culture and creativity is at the foundation of art and design education. Groys (2009) argues that art education is complicated and subjective; it ultimately has no rules and that “teaching art means teaching life” (as cited in Madoff, 2009, p. 27). If that is the case, how does one measure quality in a field that is viewed as so subjective? How does one define and value art and design education? One’s notion of good art and design can be vastly different from another’s, and both views may come from experts in the field.

Recent community- based participatory action research with Indigenous youth explored their perspectives on success, leadership and the intersectionality between holistic health and a healthy neighborhood. Her Urban Garden project was a community-based research partnership with Indigenous organizations in Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba. The goal of the project was to improve the health and wellbeing of Indigenous youth by identifying culturally relevant indicators for holistic health. The research also investigated the holistic health benefits of urban gardening for individuals and neighbourhoods.
