Colour For Painters
Colour is crucial… but — we all have favourites — and blind spots! Using colour theory and masterworks as jumping-off points, we’ll explore real-world combinations and relationships through structured and open-ended painter’s exercises — revisiting the basics and extending in new directions — always with plenty of room for personal direction!
Thursdays, 9:30am-12:30pm, Nov. 7 - Dec. 3 (5 weeks)

Design With Collage
Collage is unparalleled for training your compositional eye — so easy to play with size, position, cropping, colour, relationships… But the flexibility can also drive you insane! Through masterwork examples, discussion and plenty of hands-on, learn and apply timeless design principles to your collages. Cut-and-paste confidence starts here!

Mixed Media With Maps
Are you drawn to maps? Maps are visually interesting and have great potential for personal expression despite of their humble beginnings as identifiers of our geo-political world. Maps can now represent vast ranges of data and ideas — from cyberspace to mindscapes. Through inspiring map art examples and exercises, we’ll spend the day mapping out some new artistic territory!

Collage is the New Paint
Have you ever tried to paint with paper? Do you wish your pictures could feel a bit fresher, a bit livelier? Try collage! Working with paper as paint helps you make unexpected and interesting decisions and discoveries, once you learn to apply basic strategies. With instructor guidance you can experience the fun and overcome unexpected challenges when you add collage to your tool box.
Mondays, 9am–12pm, Nov. 11 - Dec. 2 (4 weeks)

Beginning Abstraction
Are you stuck in your painting process? Perhaps you have mastered drawing or painting what’s in front of you, or perhaps representational painting doesn’t appeal to you but you are not sure how to take the next step. Abstraction may be the solution. Through examples, group discussion, hands-on exercises, and plenty of fun — you’ll try new ways of working, seeing and thinking to explore abstraction. If you’re curious but unsure about abstraction, start with this introductory course.
Mondays, 1pm–4pm, Nov. 11 - Dec. 2 (4 weeks)
