All materials are provided in this afternoon of learning and exploration!
Ready for some “serious” artist-time in our studio classroom? Young makers ages 8 to 13, we have an afternoon ready for you with artist & educator Eileen MacArthur! In this half day workshop, we will be learning colour theory (colour wheel, value) and exploring different lines and marks.
Working with a still life set up in the studio, incorporating various textures and colours (fabric, flowers and seashells), we will be looking at the work of various historical and contemporary artists for inspiration and completing a large size work combining various materials and representational approaches.
