Workshop Title: Drawing for Beginners 

Tutor: Anneke Silver

Workshop summary: Drawing is a great way to learn to 'see'. It can be the foundation for further art making or an art form in itself. This workshop will begin with the basic principles of tone, form, line and mark making using structured exercises and will then work towards individual expression. At the end of the workshop the participants will have a good understanding of tone and form and will be able to continue on their own, furthering their insight in these elements. Usually all students finish one or more impressive tonal drawings.

Audience: Adult

Workshop Title: Expressive Drawing Strategies

Tutor: Sandra Ross

Workshop summary: This workshop aims to introduce students to a variety of drawing strategies with the focus on improving drawing and observational skills. By initially drawing a still life with graphite, students will be encouraged to observe closely using structural analysis and analytical techniques to achieve form and depth in their drawing. After demonstrations by the tutor, students will experiment with different drawing media e.g. ink, charcoal, graphite, on coloured grounds and with watery paint on white paper to begin several works. Students will be encouraged to develop these works using strategies to express and communicate feeling and meaning in their drawings.

Workshop Title: Mapping of Place

Workshop Title: An Introduction to Scratch Art

Tutor: Renee Treml

Workshop summary: This workshop will introduce participants with drawing experience to the technique of scratchboard (a.k.a. scraper-board). Scratchboard is an excellent technique for creating fur and feathers and can also be used in colour. Each workshop will begin with a short overview of the scratchboard media, how it is used by different artists, and the different tools and materials involved. For the short (1/2-day) workshops, we will work on black scratchpaper and explore the creation and representation of different textures and subjects through the creation of a small piece. Participants in the longer workshops (1-2 days) will experiment with various tools (sandpaper, wire brushes, etc.) and different methods for applying ink and colour. Depending on length, students may expect to complete 1-2 small final pieces. Regardless of length, these workshops will encourage participants to interact and learn from each other’s experiences.

Audience: Secondary School, Young People, Adult, Seniors
