"Artists in Education" is a program funded by the Ontario Arts Council. The program subsidizes the cost of having artists work in Ontario schools, offering one group of students an in-depth 25 hour art workshop.

Martha has visited over 35 classes providing her comic book project integrating picture-making, storytelling and book arts. Students learned visual techniques for building narrative and character development through black and white sequential images. The individual graphic stories were photocopied and students participated in the assembly of class anthology editions.

Sorry, NOT currently making bookings for the current school year.
