L'art n'est point sans Soucy

Long métrage documentaire sur Jean-Jules Soucy, artiste originaire de La Baie au Saguenay, lequel possède une forte imagination et un grand sens de l’humour. Il utilise les objets de son quotidien – pelures d’oignons, serpillières industrielles, sacs en papier, cartons de lait – pour en faire des œuvres d’art rigolotes et lucides. Drôle d’artiste ou artiste drôle, Soucy aime les jeux de mots et les images qui font réfléchir aux (sérieux) problèmes socio-environnementaux.

Notes

Taking the same perspective as Jean-Jules Soucy, students should form a group and create an engagé work of art as a way of denouncing something problematic in their surroundings. To do so, they must recover and use materials in the school that are bound for the garbage. It would be interesting to raise awareness among the educational community of the issues chosen for this particular creative process.
