Mediums :
Many students generally start off in the graphite medium, however students may choose to start in other mediums if they have a lot of drawing experience and have had some previous experiences in other mediums. With continuous studio courses, students may register for Weekend Workshops which are held throughout the year with continuous studio classes and as they are interested and ready for different mediums.
ALL SUPPLIES are professional - we at Christina's Art School don't believe in "student grade" as learning is already difficult enough without an added frustration of supplies that are inferior (colours not mixing properly, brushes that don't cover, canvas that flakes the paint off, etc.)
**If choose any other medium than graphite, basic sketchbook, HB pencil, and eraser will be included in the prices below.
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: No previous experience is necessary, however a weekend workshop in the chosen medium is a prerequisite. 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.
Instruction will include:
** Each year we have:
Year End Field Trip (chartered bus to the cities Saskatoon,Regina, or MooseJaw interspersed with an in-town field trip every other year)
Year End Art Show at the Grace Campbell Gallery in the public Library for the month of June for students who wish to display their work.

**If choose any other medium than graphite, basic sketchbook, HB pencil, and eraser will be included in the prices below.
- Graphite- (pencil) - basic first medium - drawing and working towards a finished piece of artwork - (supplies comes with registration)
- Charcoal- a good transition to explore blending capabilities without colour - (same price as graphite - comes with registration)
- Wax Pastel- excellent first color painting mediums - can also include use of pastel pencil for fine details etc, versatile and accommodates a variety of artistic styles - (**$150 will be due the first day of the workshop if choose this medium)
- India Ink & Watercolor Pans - great transition to colour and painting - no matter how the paint is applied, the Ink pulls it all together - there's no such thing as a mistake with this medium- excellent for traveling (**$95 will be due the first day of the workshop if choose this medium)
- Oil Pastel- another transition to color, however, more difficult to erase and get fine details- need control - (**$95 will be due the first day of the workshop if choose this medium)
- Colored Pencil- another transition, requires a very controlled style - good for details, fairly slow medium - (**$150 will be due the first day of the workshop if choose this medium)
- Acrylic- the suggested first wet color painting medium (**$165 will be due the first day of the workshop if choose this medium)
- Watercolor- the most advanced wet colored medium - some experience in other mediums is recommended (**$195 will be due the first day of the workshop if choose this medium)

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.
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.
