The said broccoli, named &#8220;Alberto&#8221; and wearing a bowler hat, is in a panic and flees into the forest just in time to avoid being fed to the monster. The story ends with a salad of poisonous mushrooms picked up by mistake in the forest where Alberto is hiding and Broccoli suddenly stricken with a nasty case of indigestion. <strong>The children in the audience howl with delight!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the room has warmed up and the little ones have had their fill of a delicious snack, Pascal gets down to the business of <strong>choosing characters for a Christmas story<\/strong>. <strong>Then it&#8217;s time to vote, and off we go!<\/strong> &#8220;Toad and Toadette&#8221;, little tree-dwelling creatures with big noses and ears, meet Coco, a dromedary wearing a Christmas toque in the desert. With everyone sweating from the heat, the friends decide to dig a tunnel to the North Pole to cool off.

It&#8217;s just that <\/span><b>renowned painter Yvan Dagenais <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had little or no experience of working with young children. Well, the skeptics were dumbstruck! What natural talent and energy! The children (and their accompanying adults) were delighted with games of creative exploration proposed by the workshop leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a welcome address, a review of pastel works by the teacher on display as examples, and a description of the materials available to each child, including an impressive assortment of coloured sticks, <\/span><b>Yvan Dagenais set the tone: the important thing today is to have fun learning to play with pastel colors on different surfaces.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then began the <\/span><b>first part of the program: <\/b><b><i>Musical Pastel<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this part, like playing musical chairs, participants had to put aside the work they&#8217;d started, move around the tables to the sound of lively music, and pick up another drawing when the music stopped. Laughter and giggles guaranteed!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><b>second part<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the teacher transforms himself into a magician and unveils <\/span><b><i>The Magical Leaf<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before the amazed eyes of the participants. Each participant is asked to choose either a tree leaf or a wire mesh on which to place their drawing paper. The pastel is lightly applied to bring out the texture of the hidden product.

Yvan shows the young apprentices the amazing effects of pastel on the coarse black paper. Already comfortable handling the sticks, the children let their imaginations run wild as they drew from the assortment of colors at their disposal.
