Upcoming ART CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

COLOUR

Starts Sept 11th - Ends Sept 27th

Weds: 6:30pm - 9pm & Thurs & Fri: 10:30am - 3:00pm

In these three workshops we shall explore how colours can influence mood and perception and how to use colours to affect and attract a viewer when looking at your art.

Tone

Starts Oct 2nd - Ends Oct 9th

Weds: 6:30pm - 9pm & Thurs & Fri: 10:30am - 3:00pm

The arrangement of tone guides the viewer’s eye around an artwork and creates drama, focus, depth, and balance.  Understanding tone will also enable you to make bold and confident decisions when using colour.

Line

Starts Oct 16th - Ends Oct 25th

Weds: 6:30pm - 9pm & Thurs & Fri: 10:30am - 3:00pm

A line is a mark connecting two points, or the path of a moving point. Lines can convey emotion, movement, and energy and define shape and form.

Movement

Starts Oct 30th - Ends Nov 28th

Weds: 6:30pm - 9pm & Thurs & Fri: 10:30am - 3:00pm

Movement in art is an important focus – it can provide a narrative and a sense of time in your work but, most importantly, a suggestion of reality.

Own Project

Starts Dec 4th - Ends Dec 13th

Weds: 6:30pm - 9pm & Thurs & Fri: 10:30am - 3:00pm

Now is the time to put all that you have practice and learnt together to create your own artwork using your own topic and choice of medium.  You will plan and design your work during this session and share your learning with other Foundry Artists.

Express Yourself!

Express Yourself Continues!

After we exploded into action with Expressive Art earlier this term with landscapes, figures, and portraits, we are now continuing with abstract compositions, narratives and still life – learning new techniques, different materials and focusing on a wide variety of artists who make art full of expression, emotion, and atmosphere. At the end of this term you will plan and develop your own expressive artwork in the medium of your choice.

All workshops are suitable for any new and emerging artists who wish to push their techniques and imagery further and also for those who have more creative experience.

Why not Join us!

It’s never too late to become an artist!
