"It made me think about what is important to me. I thought more about the stuff I have that was my mom's and it seems more important now."
-- grade 9 student, The Linden School

"I enjoyed it. It made me think of stuff that you don't normally think of everyday."
-- grade 9 student, The Linden School

I learned "that no matter what you feel, art can express it, trivialize it, or go around it".
-- grade 9 participant, The Linden School

I enjoyed this project "because it gave the opportunity to express myself. I enjoyed finding spontaneous things to add to my collage. I enjoyed, also, working with color photocopies and improvising solutions to artistic problems that developed".
-- grade 10 participant, Oakwood Collegiate

"The collage project 'gave me a chance to unleash all my creativity into a piece of art work which can be expressed in a unique way. I got to combine the passions of creativeness into one work of art. Fashion and drawing are rarely put together and this was a great way to put it together.' "
-- grade 10 participant, Oakwood Collegiate

"It was a great experience, a good idea and a pleasure to have an actual artist work with us, to share her wisdom and points of view about our art works and themes."
-- grade 10 participant, Oakwood Collegiate

"The reason why I enjoyed the collage project was because I was able to express my feelings towards certain topics which mean something to me. It was a lot of fun using images of my own to express the way I feel."
-- grade 10 participant, Oakwood Collegiate

"The project gave me a chance to work with someone professional. It allowed me to see how good of an artist I really am."
-- grade 8 participant, St. Bernadette School

"This project showed me how much I really care for my family and close friends. This taught me to control the colours and not to put paint everywhere I want to, and leave a space for the eye to rest."

"It was fun working with our hands and getting a little dirty. It's a change from all that Art History."

-- grade 4 participant, Jefferson Public School

"I've never really enjoyed art before but after this amazing experience you gave me and my class mates I really enjoy it. My favourite colour is yellow and my favourite type of art now is collages. I just love the way all different layors of information band together to make a real live picture."
-- grade 5 participant, Jefferson Public School

-- grade 4 participant, Jefferson Public School

"I learned that art isn't just slopping stuff on a piece of paper but it's really texture and color and it takes a lot of planning."
