In this fun art basics class, we'll use our pets (or pets we hope to have) as inspiration to develop our drawing skills. With a photocopy of the pet’s image, you’ll learn how to implement a drawing grid and simplify the animal’s form into easier to interpret shapes. Then we’ll draw onto mylar, using a basic left-to-right, up-down guide to measure with our eyes as we create a rudimentary outline to be shaded into four simple values. For all levels. Bring a photo to work with of your pet or a pet you’d like to have. All other materials provided.
Course Fee: $55 + HST. Friday.

From Rembrandt to Picasso, artists have always used themselves as models to draw and paint self-portraits. In this enjoyable evening workshop for the beginner to intermediate artist, we’ll explore the art of the self-portrait, beginning with a presentation and then moving to a live demonstration covering basic concepts. You’ll then give it a go yourself, drawing your own image using sketchbooks, graphite pencils and a mirror. All materials provided, but participants should bring a small mirror.
Course Fee: $49 + HST. Friday.
