3-DAY WORKSHOP
Collage: New Directions Tues. June 13 - Thurs. June 15, 2023 3 full days of exploration with a balance of contemporary examples to inspire, exercises to get your motor running, and open-ended challenges —all in a collegial and supportive environment with individual attention and group discussion — with plenty of creative leeway to take things in the directions you find most compelling! Materials may be left overnight between classes |
5-DAY WORKSHOP
Landscapes: Real, Imagined & Altered Mon. July 3 - Fri. July 7, 2023 Who hasn’t rendered a landscape at some point in their art-making? Well-known or never-before-seen, real or imagined, fact or fiction -- place has an endless capacity to speak to us as artists, captivating us to attempt to capture and express what it is that’s moving, intriguing, haunting us. But this ain’t your conventional landscape course! Designed to get you moving past simply capturing the scene, this course begins with individual artistic field research in the beauty of the nearby Haliburton environment — honing your observational skills. Once back in the studio, you will be challenged to interpret and transform your findings in increasingly expressive and conceptual ways, expanding into guided but self-directed exploration of personal ideas. Some structure and support, lots of creative latitude! Come explore some new artistic territory! 
5-DAY WORKSHOP
Collage: New Directions Mon. July 10 - Fri. July 14, 2023 We live in an image-saturated world: we see more images in one day than a medieval person saw in their lifetime. As artists, we process our outer (and inner) worlds and explore and invent new possibilities with what we find. Collage is the perfect contemporary medium: we can mine this rich world of images, colours, textures, patterns, ideas, aesthetics — reconfiguring, re-combining, and remixing our way into our own creative expressions! Each day will begin with a short class exercise and include some inspiring masterwork examples by leading collage artists, and there will be a daily focus that you are free to engage with a little or a lot. Plenty of group discussion and one-on-one feedback will support you as you explore your own collage ideas and explorations. It’s the perfect blend of inspiration, structure, support and freedom! |
