Dear members of the Oakville Arts Studio, Painting class:
The Magic of the Sketch
Sketching or pencil drawing is a rapidly executed freehand and also that is not intended as a finished work. A sketch may serve a number of purposes:
It might record something that the artist sees, it might record or develop an idea for later use or it might be used as a quick way of graphically demonstrating an image, idea or principal.
Sketching is generally a prescribed part of the studies of art students. Pencils are usually where it all begins. Whether you're a dedicated pencil artist or eager to get stuck into painting, learning to draw and sketch with graphite or coloured pencils is a must to an artist's personal development. The programme is focused in leaving the hand flow more freely while following shapes. Copying from real life is sometimes hard for proportion and detailing, and it is precisely through the sketching that the eyes and hand, together work to produce balanced ideas in paper. Pencil is a wonderful media ready for all to explore.
In this season September-December we have prepared for all ages a fantastic programme to inspire you to a surprisingly neglected, yet cheap and beautiful medium. Your kids will be amazed about the possibilities of their results in such a sort time!
Also opening is the toddler’s arts and craft Studio, offered by
Miss Myriam.
Miss Myriam is an Early Childhood Educator who not only has been immersed in oil painting and other different Arts such as poetry, acting and singing. Runs the Homework Club in North Oakville, as well as Story Teller Studio and the Literacy Groups.
She is a Certified ESL Teacher, IELTS, TKT Certified for Teaching Knowledge Test, CDR Course, First Aid Course and National Safety Course. She holds an award winner Certificate in Poetry and Studied Opera. Part of her experience with kids has been for more than 8 years at the Thomas Jefferson Institute Private School in Mexico .
Most toddlers absolutely love art! It is by this principle that this programme for tiny artists is offered.
Toddler art also plays a really important role in your child's development. A child is only physically ready for writing, and even drawing, after years of having loads of practice using the small muscles in their hands. Colouring, painting and sticking are perfect for strengthening those crucial muscles that your child will depend on for the rest of his life.
For ages 3 and up, ask for class schedules and programming.
