with Agnès Frégé

Public: final year cabinetmaking CAP students at the Lycée des métiers Augustin Boismard (Brionne); general and technological second year students with the Ecology-Agronomy-Territory-Sustainable Development option, agricultural production vocational second year students and agricultural equipment maintenance vocational second year students at the Lycée Gilbert Martin (Le Neubourg).

Location: Brionne and Le Neubourg, Eure.

Duration: 9 hours of workshops for the Lycée des métiers Augustin Boismard; 24 hours of workshops for the Lycée Gilbert Martin.

After discovering the amazing models of Doctor Auzoux at the Musée de l’Écorché d’anatomie in Le Neubourg, the different classes from these two secondary schools in the Eure region went to the Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie to see these objects photographed by Laurent Millet and printed in colour pigments – an ancient photographic technique requiring four negatives in yellow, magenta, cyan and black.

These discoveries gave the pupils enough ideas to last several days of art workshops led by Agnès Frégé, a visual artist from Normandy, with whom they painted, cut out and assembled shapes to create delicate flowers to be carefully pinned to the wall. A different way of seeing living things, of exploring their volume through thin layers of paper and of dissecting, in full colour, organic and plant forms from their imagination.

Restitution: For both secondary schools, the students’ productions were exhibited in the halls, visible to all students, teachers and staff.
