Chelsea Campbell's class contains elements of drawing, painting and sculpture while learning about iconic “pop artist” Andy Warhol and his ideas about transforming everyday objects into art. Students will learn about process - how small steps can create a larger, more impactful art piece, along with learning technical skills such as proper brush strokes, shading and sources of light.

Get bent! Students explore the wondrous nature of willow construction. They will learn several willow weaving techniques and create a trivet, fish and star while learning how to weave two traditional forms of baskets (frame and stake & strand).

The shadowed tangle of the forest creates pattern and colour that captivates Gallery artists Kristina Maus and Peter John Reid...and will inspire our young artist's! Students will make sketch books and take a line (and their feet!) for a walk to capture shadow and shape in “plein air” then head back inside to learn about colour values, colour mixing and compositions.

A perfect capture! Students will learn about the principles and elements of design, through capturing images of people, nature, and landscapes.

Calling all Creature Creators! Make the wackiest, wonkiest papier mache sculptures celebrating the feathered or the furred. Colour and pattern create feather and foot, cardboard and imagination transform into masks that express our inner animal.

Inspired by Gallery Artist’s Jane Geard and Sandy Esplen, we explore various kinds of printmaking from monoprints to collagraphs. Students will go on a texture safari to find sources of line and texture in nature. Back in the studio, we will use glue-y worms of yarn to create tree collagraph plates to create prints from, and then turn the printing plate into a wall hanging with found branches and mixed media papers.

Children will investigate a variety of mediums, which will allow them to create two and three-dimensional artwork using materials such as paint and clay. Throughout the week, children will explore a variety of children’s books, famous artists, and the outdoors to provide inspiration for their artwork.

Students will explore Fairy Lake and the beach to gather materials found in nature to create incredible art projects!
Young artists start the week with a hike around Fairy Lake and create a "journey stick" while gathering  fallen leaves, bark, pine cones and other found treasures to use for relief printing in clay.

Students explore work by Gallery artists Bonnie Gardiner, Jenny Lee Learn and Margot Foster featuring furry, fuzzy or feathered friends.Sketching exercises to capture the perfect animal pose from reference photos lead to acrylic painting lessons in color., contrast and composition.

So much fun, the kids won’t even know it’s good for them! Jennifer energizes, motivates, and educates students in a supportive, non-judgemental setting.
