This is a continuation of Mending Made Visible I, however students who have not done the first course are welcome to join and the instructor will get you up to speed. Visible mending is the act highlighting the stitches you use to repair something. The course is a chance for you to mend and transform domestic items in need of repair into objects of beauty. Every week you will visit the words and artworks of people involved in the act of repairing our world. You will be encouraged to work with items close to you because the work of repair begins with each of us, and your mending will serve as metaphor of art and action in the world. The course will focus on the slow skills used to repair woven and knit fabrics, and opportunity to connect this work to your art practice through discussion and optional extensions for your assignments. Students who took the in-person Mending Made Visible I in the spring can develop their projects further in the online version of the course. FRIDAYS, JUL 11 - AUG 15, 10AM - 1PM CANCELLED

In Paint Like an Artist II you will be introduced to a 21st century painter each week. We will review their specific approaches to subject matter as well as application of paint and process. There will be a weekly painting project based on this discussion. This is a great course for those who are curious to learn how early-mid 20th century artists have influenced many contemporary painters. The course will also provide an excellent opportunity to push your painting practice in new directions. Participants can use oil, acrylic, gouache or watercolour. This course can be taken as a follow-up to Paint Like an Artist I, but it is not necessary to have taken the first one in order to enrol in the second part. New artists will be discussed so feel free to re-take this course. FRIDAYS, JUL 11 - AUG 15, 2PM - 5PM ONLINE Note: No class Aug 15, makeup class Aug 22

This course will concentrate on observing the ways plants grow and discovering ways to represent this in your artwork. You will learn to link the practice of observation, gathering plant information and expression of personal feelings and then develop this into a larger painting. You will be challenged to think beyond obvious human perception by investigating things such as how pollinators find flowers and the colour energetics used in these symbiotic relationships. Over the six-week period you will explore colours, plants, and pollinators through the act of seeing and close observation, preliminary studies, and then the development of one larger painting. This course will encourage a creative practice inspired by the way plants behave. FRIDAYS, JUL 11 - AUG 15, 10AM - 1PM CANCELLED
