Two elderly women sit outdoors, one wearing sunglasses, painting on canvases. They are focused on their work. A quote overlay reads, "We are here to create something that we are all proud to be a part of" against a blue background.

Research has shown positive experiences are more productive.

Happiness fuels motivation, and that energy spills out into everything one does. So why not make positivity a regular part of the Transition Year class culture as they create lasting memories.

“Art collaboration is the sum of everybody. everybody’s attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, traditions, and skills, and everybody has a role to play in the creation of a piece of art.”

Here’s how to get the Transition Year students pumped up about working together. The conversation from the get-go establishes a critical foundation because it gives a better understanding of what makes fellow students think by letting them have a say in shaping a process that becomes meaningful to them. Hold onto the things that are good, then work together to fix what is broken. Ultimately, we want to establish a process that feels like it truly belongs to the people who create it.

An older woman guides a young woman painting at an easel. The older woman is wearing a light vest and sunglasses atop her curly hair. The younger woman has long dark hair and appears focused. Another young woman paints in the background.
