ArtsSmarts Saskatchewan Grant Awarded to ECS
On January 11, 2010, senior art teacher, Marea Olafson, received exciting news that her November application for an $8000.00 ArtsSmarts Saskatchewan Grant was successful.  Ms. Olafson’s application project is for her grades seven through twelve art students to create digital visual-art works that explore the design elements.  The grant will cover the cost for two artists to come to Eston School for eight days.  During this time they will teach students two different computer programs that can create the visual images. The programs taught will be Adobe Photoshop CS4 and an AutoCAD program. The grant will also help in purchasing the required software for the school’s computer lab.  Students in grade 7, 8, and 9 will be introduced to the computer programs and artists by creating basic projects.  Art 10, 20 and 30 students will become proficient in both programs and will create their own original artworks.  The project will take place during art class in March and April 2010 and once completed, one piece of artwork from each grade 10-12 student will be framed and matted and put on display at Dawn of the Head Salon and Spa and the Eston Prairie Center Credit Union. 

 The $8000.00 ArtSmarts Saskatchewan Grant is funded by the Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskCulture, Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture, and Recreation, Saskatchewan Ministry of Education, and Arts Smarts.
