It’s the season to be jolly, which is why the Moose and Goose in downtown Thorold has received a Christmas makeover.
Five students from Thorold Secondary School volunteered their time to turn the windows of the establishment into a winter wonderland.
“We really appreciate this opportunity to get out in the public and actually show off the skills of the art students,” Thorold Secondary art teacher Kim Duggan tells ThoroldToday. “We hope that it continues. We'll take any opportunities that we're given. This is fantastic.”
The project took quite a bit of planning.
“We drew the designs on paper,” explains Thorold Secondary student Riley Pitz-Agnew. “Then we projected them really big and then stuck them on the windows. Then we used paint to do the outlines based off of what was on the page.”
The students faced a few challenges while realizing the project.
“Painting on windows is hard,” says Pitz-Agnew. “You have to do specific lines first and then go over it. 'Cause usually when you do art, you do the first coat and the second coat and the third coat. But this way, you have to the last coat first.”
“It’s in reverse because you’re doing it from the inside,” adds student Jay Franklin.
In return for their hard work, the students received a check for $250.
“The cheque is from the Moose and Goose and it goes towards the school,” says Duggan. “It'll go towards things like breakfast club, things to help students in need basically.”
