«Certains objets du quotidien, qui peuvent nous sembler banals, nous révèlent parfois des détails originaux et fantaisistes. Toutefois, il faut être attentif et surtout de bons observateurs pour les remarquer. Pour l’artiste Éric Daudelin, l’art est partout. Fasciné par l’architecture, il a créé des mosaïques avec une série de photographies d’éléments urbains : des portes. Avec les œuvres Courtepointe rouge et Courtepointe verte, il réussit à magnifier ces portes d’entrée regroupées par couleur et nous permet de découvrir tous ces détails qui distinguent chacune d’entre elles et qui les rendent uniques. Après avoir observé les œuvres de l’artiste Éric Daudelin, les élèves expérimenteront le collage et le dessin en créant une porte derrière laquelle se cache leur famille.»

Instruction includes studio and field techniques, photojournalism, fashion photography, and commercial, portrait, scientific, nature, wildlife and sports photography.
