Collage is both an art technique and a resulting work of art. It can also be a catalyst for further experiments in drawing or painting. Working with simple everyday tools such as scissors, glue and found materials often yields surprising and satisfying results. A brief slide presentation covers the history of collage as well as the work of many contemporary collage artists. The essential principles and elements of colour and composition form the basis of class projects. This workshop will allow you to discover how a sense of play and experimentation can lead to exciting works of art. Suitable for all levels. All supplies included. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31 & NOVEMBER 1, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PDT) IN-PERSON

This workshop gets its name from the landscapes of Charles Burchfield who always attempted to capture the sound of nature in his paintings. Burchfield’s work will be used as a source for subject matter and you will discover how to see the natural world in his eyes: a cacophony of shapes and marks. Looking at the work of Burchfield will give you the ability to look at the natural world with new eyes and interpret it in a way to make interesting paintings. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PDT) ONLINE

Do you see people sitting on a park bench or in a café sketching and wish you could do the same? Would you like to draw what you see around you while wandering through a city? Students will develop the techniques and confidence needed to draw gardens and parks, interiors of buildings, people, and architecture, and will be introduced to materials and tools suited for sketching on-site, as well as ways to use photography to document ideas for at-home drawing. The course will include exploring downtown as well as visiting local parks and public spaces. During inclement weather, class outings will include going inside buildings such as the Atrium, the Empress Hotel, and the Royal British Columbia Museum. This is a great course to take for those who will be travelling to an urban location and would like to do some drawing while there. (There will be an additional fee for museum entrance). Suitable for all levels. TUESDAYS, SEP 22 - DEC 15, 10AM - 1PM(PDT) IN-PERSON
