W14DT05 | SCULPTURE: MOVEMENT, LIGHT AND SPACE |
AGES 13 TO 15
Understanding sculpture requires an understanding of how shape affects space around it
and how light and shadow play across the surface of various materials. In this class we will
build sculptures of wood, fabric, glue, paper, clay and ad hoc materials such as plastic and
metal found objects. Students will be challenged to generate ideas for projects that move:
roll, swing, oscillate, spin, etc. Incorporating colour, surface texture and humour, this class
is intended to be serious fun! All levels welcome.
Fee: $205
W14DT06 | PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT | AGES 13 TO 15
Students attend stimulating studio sessions designed to assist them in preparing and developing art works for a portfolio presentation. The instructor guides the students towards
fulfilling the requirements specified for admission to the secondary school curriculum for
which they are applying. Sessions include drawing a still life, a self-portrait using pencil and
pastel media and coloured portrait studies. Classes also include figure drawing from a live
model, acrylic painting with instruction in colour theory and brushstroke, and sculpture.
This class is bilingual. The class is fast paced and alternates between terms to accommodate
continuing students.
