Dance Impressions

School Year: 23-24

Explore dance and music through visual art following an introduction to any contemporary dance form (with dance facilitator of your choice). Eileen will guide students through their own interpretation of rhythm and movement via 2 dimensional art in any desired media.

Under the Douglas Channel

School Year: 23-24

Students grades 8 to 12 designed and painted a 40 mural in a hallway in Mount Elizabeth Secondary School. This mural depicted the profuse marine life of the Douglas Channel and north Pacific off the northwest coast of BC. Students researched their chosen sea plants and animals and fine tuned their visual understanding of these images in order to transfer and incorporate them into the mural.


Testimonials & Reviews

This has been a very successful series of workshops for the Kitimat Museum and Archives, and has become an integral part of the elementary school curriculum in Kitimat, due in no small part to the talent, hard work and passion of Eileen Hutson. Angela Eastma, Assistant Curator, Kitimat Museum and Archives
My last experience working with Eileen through art starts was extremely positive and was big success. She introduced our mural and brainstormed with my high school students and myself during classroom. She taught painting methods and was generous with her expertise. She successfully worked with small groups of students to produce a fantastic mural that spans 40 feet of our hallway floor to ceiling and depicts Kitimat's marine life in the Douglas Channel.
