Olivia’s eagerness to explore the arts and sciences has manifested itself into personal projects, which she believes offer her new insights into learning, creativity, and curiosity itself. One of her recent projects has been to uncover the process involved in creating Visual Development Art for an animated film project.
Her talk will focus on Visual Development Art and how personal projects can influence your learning.

Though Olivia deBourcier is currently studying Environmental and Conservation Studies at the University of Alberta she graduated from Victoria School of the Arts in 2016 where she developed her love of the arts. When she isn’t knee deep in books, she enjoys volunteering at the Edmonton Valley Zoo, learning everything she can about the natural world and the creatures that live within it which inspires much of her work. She has performed in shows including The Odyssey, Beauty and the Beast, and Once on this Island, and was part of Victoria School’s Improv Ensemble for five years. She has been a member of both the Victoria School Leadership Team and the Victoria Student Arts Leadership Team and was a nominee for the Michael Strembinsky EPSB Award.
