The following movies are projects done by DISA students in their sculpture class. The premise the students worked with was that time and space were mediums to be manipulated sculpturally.
Caiohme Beaulé – Perpetual Rhythm – an animation where the life cycle of a plant is seen as a metaphoric parallel to the psychic cycle of a human being.
Malcom Macdonald – Smile – Playful yet macabre – speaks to the child in all of us.
For the final colour assignment in our Introduction to Photography course, we ask the students to put together a series of fifteen images based on a theme. Sometimes the themes are purely formal – images dealing with colour or form or light. Sometimes these themes can be psychological in nature – emoting humour, or joy, or sadness. Sometimes the theme can take on a serious subject. Below you will find excerpts from a variety of intro projects. Their themes run the gamut from the serious – Kelsey Keeble-Laberge’s work tackles the body-image expectations that young women often face in contemporary society, to the formal – Alannah Lloyd, David Leroux and Frederique Roy all explore light, composition and colour. Portraits play a role, as in Asa Shulman’s photos of his fellow cadets. And for pure lovable idiocy, check out Sean Durnin’s Prank photos.
A few of our students had a go at making a new banner for the home page. What do you think, should we change it up? Leave your comments below.

One of our DISA teachers, Ashley Miller, was recently involved in the exhibition LAND ART – which was sponsored by the city of St. Hilaire. The website for the whole show is here. The first image below is the work that was included in the exhibition. The second image, called Totem, is a piece from another of Ashley’s shows at the Vieux Prespetaire in Longueuil.
To start the New Year off, here is a smattering of animated gifs from one of the option DISA classes. Hopefully, more to come. Vampires by Xavier Hamel, Self-Portrait as Borat by Xavier Bleau and Celebration by Angelica Sevilla.
