RICHMOND HILL â€" 37 of the 110 students at 16th Avenue public school had entries in the school science fair last week. Less often do you meet a person with those same qualities. Well, they do exist â€" Olga Kelman at Studio Kelman in Thornhill, just north of Toronto proper. For tickefs, please see Rudy at the Fish & Chip store. The five winners go on to the Area 3 Science Fair at Langstaff secondary school Friday afternoon. Olga Kelman Was born in Sophia, Bulgaria, but lived the first 20 years of her life in Paris, France where she studied ballet and art. After the Second World War, she met her future husband, Canadian artist Harry Kelman and returned with him to Ottawa. The are: Stephen Schnagl, Grade 2 for Oil; Paul McWatt, Grade 3 for the Solar System; Anne Stevenson, Grade 1 for Birds at My Feeder; Chris Kuettel, Grade 5 â€" a Weather Station and Brigitte Hohener, Grade 5, for the Carbon Cycle. Brian Robinson, principal of the school, said he was very pleased with the enthusiastic response to this, their That was in 1956. In 1975, she finally arrived in Toronto, the city she calls her second home, Paris is her first. 7 Mme. Kelman is an artist in every sense of the word. She creates and recreates. “It's sad to see neglected, discarded things. Everything has the potential to be beautiful. You must find that inner source of beauty first, and bring that out." “I love Toronto, there’s so much here, it gives me inspiration,” s_he says. Her studio-home is a perfect sample of her philosophy. Originally, a small, 3 bedroom bungalow, Mme. Kelman recreated a totally open, unrestrictive atmosphere, making any space func- tional. She unlocks door She basically kept the frame of the house and transformed the rest, almost magically, into a multiâ€"levelled studio. The first level, alias kitchen, is now a welding, woodcarving and sculpting area. Up the stairs on level 2 is where she paints and makes jewellry. This level also contains the living quarters. The master bedroom dohbfes as a gallery from which one can see the By Terry Schonblum St. Both are in Grade 8. There were 190 enteries from among the 350 students at the school. The top 15 go to the Area 3 fair at Langstaff secondary school Friday. Tonight is the monthly meeting of the ladies of St. John’s. They will meet in the upper room at 7:30 for dessert and coffee. Afterwards, the meeting will feature guest speaker Margaret Coleman of the downtown church workers’ association. She will talk about their work in the inner city and she wil show slides. The a'dvisory board will meet Tuesday in the upper room at 8 pm. At this time. they will welcome back from Israel their secretary, Mrs. Frat») Bell: Saturday, March 19 St. John’s will host the parish of Georgina in a quiet day from 9:30 until 4:30. This occasion had to be postponed in January due to the wonderful winter weather we have been plagued with. For Brownies There’ll be a Brownies session for girls aged 7 to 10 today from 4:30 to 6 pm. at Lake Wilcox Public School. For information contact Mrs. Mulcahy at 773-5610. Among other popular lunch time programs held at the school are the Arts and Crafts Clubs where mar- vellous macrame owls are being made by the pupils, as well as Pottery, the Chess Club, and team sports. third science fair. He said the good response was indicative of the support of the school’s programs by pupils and parents. “Since most of our pupils come by bus, we like to provide creative ac- tivities through the winter indoor lunch hours. Response from the pupils of all ages has proved these programs are extremely worthwhile,” Mr. Robinson said. whole studio. The 3rd area is as yet undecided. Perhaps a painting gallery, an office, a guest room â€" whatever the need will dictate. A gypsy at heart, Mme. Kelman is always ready for change. “The living room may go so I can have more space for my artwork.” And yet, her interesting paintings, and sculptures already fill her studio to an eye pleasing capacity. Can there be more? This woman’s talents seem to have no end. There are sketches, puppets, dolls, designs for clothes, set designs, wire sculptures, stone carvings, and in- ‘tricate jewellry, just to mention a few. Her work is as varied as her talents. An Ottawa critic once compared her style to Picasso’s. Her highly imaginative mind is able to work with any available media. “Unlike other artists, I hate to be alone. I love people around me. I’m inspired when there’s constant activity, that’s when I work best.” This sense of life is ever present in her art and her studio. She has over 50 plants and 3 cats which she calls an- tiques because their sum total in age is 44 years. Having had successful exhibitions in Paris and Ottawa, Mme. Kelman is now preparing for her first Toronto show at La Chasse Galerie. She is also planning her painting and sculpture classes that she hopes to give at her studio for serious students. “Thomhill needs a good art school for its community". She and her son actor director Paul Kelman, with whom she shares her home, are making final arrangements before the invitations go out to the Toronto galleries.
