Patrick Lapierre
FAIRE—VOIR—EXPLORER
Animation Workshops
In collaboration with Action Centre-Ville
PUBLIC PRESENTATION
On Wednesday, March 28, we invite you to come and take a look at our last workshop with the members of Action Centre-Ville, an organization offering activities to individuals aged 50 and above. This season, it is Patrick Lapierre’s turn to introduce the participants to the moving image through drawing and some technical basis of animation.
FAIRE - VOIR - EXPLORER
For almost three years now, Galerie B-312 has been offering cultural mediation workshops for seniors who frequent the Action Centre-Ville. Directed by professional artists, these exploratory workshops, accompanied by studio and gallery visits, aim to help participants to better comprehend the artistic practice and become familiar with contemporary art, while allowing privileged access to the creation process.
ANIMATION WORKSHOPS
Filmmaker Patrick Lapierre invited participants to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of moving images and shapes. During the workshops, the group were introduced to the steps involved in the production of a short animated film. They had the chance to explore, individually and as a group, the range of possibilities offered by the medium. Through the exploration of different techniques combining various materials, and by addressing the notions of sequence, retinal persistence, stop motion, narration and even abstraction, the participants benefited from an exceptional opportunity to learn what goes on "behind the scenes" of an animation, a discipline that extends far beyond children’s films!
PROJECTION NIGHT
To complete this project, on Wednesday, March 28, from 5 pm to 7 pm, Galerie B-312 will hold a public presentation of the participants’ creations realised during the workshops, as well as the work of filmmakers especially invited for this event! You are all welcome.
This project was supported by: Programme de Partenariat culture et communauté, offered in the context of the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, Ville de Montréal and ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec.
