Lessons will include an overview of the time, introduction to individual artists and an appreciation for their works, as well as include short slide shows and DVD segments. Discussion will be encouraged each day with reference to students own projects and art techniques.
Elements and principles of design: Light and colour will be the main emphasis as it relates to the movement. Projects will revolve around the experimentation with light and colour theory. Still life and figure drawing will be emphasized. Timeline and map: A timeline, map, as well as historical visual references, will be developed over the duration of the course.
Portfolio/ sketches: As ongoing homework, students will be expected to develop a portfolio of sketches.

Fall Drawing Competition, deadline to enter is Fri Oct 15th!
BC STUDENTS TO BENEFIT IN FALL DRAWING COMPETITION, HOSTED BY VANCOUVER ARTIST DEB CHANEY
VANCOUVER – August 19, 2011 – Local Vancouver Artist, founder of Illuminate The Artist Within™, launches illustration competition for high school art students. Its aim is to increase student awareness of working artists and career opportunities in the arts and to provide an opportunity to have their artwork published. The winners also receive credit at OPUS Art Supplies and attend a 2-day painting workshop valued at $350.
“When I was in high school I LOVED art and had a natural affinity to being creative, however I was not encouraged or supported to pursue an “artsy fartsy” career and did not realize what was possible. It’s my hope that students that are exposed to the contest realize that there are artists out there – like myself – who are making art, being creative, and making a living doing so.”
The Illuminate the Artist Within™ Illustration Competition is open to all high school students across BC.
The winning illustrator receives:
- A $150 gift certificate valid at OPUS Framing and Art Supplies
