Medium: All students generally start off in the graphite medium, however students may branch into new mediums with continuous studio courses or if they have had some previous experiences in other mediums.  Students may register for Weekend Workshops which are held throughout the year as they are interested and ready for pastel, acrylics, watercolors, etc.

Length & Dates: 28 weeks (starting the week of September 11th with a break through Christmas and then starting the week of February 5th)  Otherwise, we follow the school holidays and classes are over around the middle of May.

Course Outline:   The students choose their own still-life or a reference picture to work from.  They work on their pieces independently while the teacher comes around to go over their artwork on a one-on-one basis.  Each lesson consists of individual instruction and a group lesson on techniques and  art theories.  As students progress over the years, more individual instruction is given as needed.  

Instruction will include:
  • A working knowledge of the art mediums used, including materials and techniques specific to this medium, and also demonstrations and exercises (part of the basic workshop - taken prior to weekly classes)
  • The basic elements of art (color, value, line, shape, texture and space/form)
  • The basic principles of art (emphasis, balance, movement, repetition/rhythm, proportion, variety and unity)
  • A brief component of art history (cultural) and art criticism (response) in order to be able to describe, analyze, interpret particular artwork based on its style. (realism, expressionism, abstract or other various styles)
  • Through this background knowledge, and doing exercises in 3-dimension, beginning with an emphasis on realism, each student will define and develop their own style through creating their own chosen subjects with continued individual instruction and individual critiques. 

** A Field Trip is planned at the end of each year and an Art Show for students who wish to display their work.
