More details

Using the overarching theme of flora and fauna, this course provides a “sampler” of art materials and processes of art-making. Each class we will start by drawing a native plant or animal together that lives and grows on Lekwungen Territory. The following approaches and media will be covered over the 12-week period: drawing with pencil, pencil crayon, chalk pastels, ink, oil pastel, mixed media (combining all of these together), collage, as well as making a zine. Course includes drawing from your imagination using pastel and mixed media; layering pencil crayon to create detailed drawings of plants and animals; and using nature walks as inspiration to create a narrative in a book format. We will be looking at Kinngait artist Shuvinai Ashoona’s drawings, the exhibition Forestrial Brain by Jim Holyoak and Matt Shane, collage artist Mary Delany, painter Ann Craven, the drawings of Pitseolak Qimirpik, and work by local artist Shawna Kiesman. Suitable for all levels. TUESDAYS, SEP 22 - DEC 15, 6PM - 9PM(PDT) IN-PERSON
