Gérald Laroche - musician & artist

Gérald Laroche is a Juno award winning musician and visual artist who spent the day in our class and school. He visited École Assiniboine thanks to a grant from Canadian Parents for French. In the morning he spent time with our class teaching some simple shortcuts to sketching and drawing characters. He taught us the basics to drawing a stickman and how to add movement to a drawing. He also explained how to add details such as shoes, hands and faces. He was able to teach us how to add details to the drawing and tell a story. In the afternoon he presented a concert where he played various harmonicas and other percussion instruments along with his storytelling. We even had the chance to stand up and dance!
