Monochrome Collage November 17 – December 8, 2022 Learn to make great-looking collages just using black and white and/or a single colour! I was thinking of taking an online Zoom course (although I don't really like them) in the hope of priming my creative pump, when I came across an offering by artist/instructor Kal Honey. I know his teaching style and personality: energetic, positive, very knowledgeable and always provides great exercises to get my creative juices going. He delivered! Thanks Kal.

NEW 2-MORNING WORKSHOP!
Buried Treasure: The Hidden Delights of Decollage Saturdays, October 15 & 22, 2022 Decollage is the practice of applying many layers of collage materials, then selectively cutting, tearing and peeling away to reveal lower layers. It is an enchanting dance between control and chance — ideal for loosening the grip of your inner control freak! With Kal’s trademark blend of inspiring masterworks, discussion and challenging and fun hands-on exercises, this workshop will have you embracing uncertainty and exploring interesting found opportunities. As always, there will be plenty of creative leeway to make your work your own.

NEW 5-WEEK COURSE!
Collage: Abstract Expressionism Tuesdays, November 1-29, 2022 Abstract Expressionism is a rightful pillar of the 20th century canon: an exploratory dance between intention and chance — design and opportunism. While the original AbEx practitioners espoused paint, collage is ideally suited to these rhythms: it’s direct, flexible, intuitive, playful! With his trademark blend of inspiring masterworks, discussion and challenging and fun hands-on exercises, Kal will get you exploring this old playground in fresh new ways — with collage!
Thanks for all the effort you put into your lessons. The art history component adds so much to the success of the assignment.
And it's so great to have an instructor who lets you fly and has no desire to have you copy his own style and ideas. Sooooo refreshing. – L. P. |

NEW 4-WEEK COURSE!
Unpacking the Masters: Learning from Fauvism Tuesdays, October 4-25, 2022 A series of focussed short courses designed to demystify the ideas and methods of specific art movements. A boring drone with endless art history slides? Heck no! These courses are firmly hands-on! We’ll first analyze key works and artists for what made them tick, then try our hand at creating our own work applying similar ideas, before culminating in more opened-ended explorations to see what useful lessons we can draw out of the movement for our own work.
Fauvism The “Wild Beasts” of this first movement of the 20th century forsook realistic colour and started painting everything they saw in eye-poppingly intense colours – laying the groundwork for a century of radical artistic innovation. If you love strong colour, then this course is the one to learn how to use it copiously and effectively! |
