Description
Jura artist Simone Découpe invited pupils to delve into her world of chimeras and paper cut-outs. After a meeting with the artist and a guided tour of her works in Besançon, the pupils discovered how to use paper cut-outs to create their own chimeras and then paint them in large format on one of the school’s interior walls.
