Week 1 | July 10 - 14 | MATERIAL EXPLORATIONS with Megan Bray

Explore new artistic materials and discover your artistic voice! Join us in this workshop where we'll experiment with charcoal, watercolour, ink, graphite, markers, and coloured pencils. Through building a sketchbook practice and playful exploration, gain confidence and explore art from fresh perspectives. Instead of feeling intimidated by a blank page, we'll use mark making and mixed media techniques to create a mixed media art journal. Unleash your creativity and continue your artistic journey with us!

Week 2 | July 31 - August 4 | PLEIN AIR PAINTING + DRAWING with Heather Phillips

Experience the thrill of painting outdoors and capturing the beauty of our neighbourhood! In this workshop, we will take our art making from the studio to the streets and parks of our neighbourhood. Throughout the week, students will learn drawing and painting from observation and experience the joys and challenges that accompany painting the great outdoors (well, the great outside in a city centre…). We will learn plein air drawing and painting essentials, with a focus on acrylic painting and sketchbook practice. Our class will take place in the ARTiculations Studio and surrounding Junction neighbourhood.

Week 3 | August 14 - 18 | DRAWING INTENSIVE with Megan Bray

Emphasizing the importance of keeping a sketchbook, you'll spend dedicated time with materials, honing your control and technique. Discover the expressive potential of different drawing media, gain confidence, and broaden your artistic horizons. Unleash your creativity and elevate your drawing skills with us!
