Horses and more on the way

Preparing for our exhibit soon to come, and getting excited for Summer, our members are really galloping towards a great closing of the spring-summer term.

Horses and more! all to have fun and be creative. All the horses are in movement, which at times may be a bit challenging for some younger artists.

Nevertheless, these horses are coming out amazing!

Keep up kids.

 Sarah and Nikki, having fun as always. They are amazing joyful kids.Thank you  for bringing such energy and great vibes to the Studio!

Remember that the new themes are coming for the Fall term. This time just to give you a taste of what is soon to come, we will explore FANTASY!
I want to know what moves you in the fantasy world. I know you all have lots to share, so start bringing ideas: dragons, fairies, manga characters, video game challenging images......you name it. All fr the creativity and non-real world.

New art is flowing!

Patterns and repetitions. Theme to explore shape, colour and composition through simple shapes and repeated forms. Great exercise.Be finger painting, free brush or paper cut, the idea came out fantastic!
Will blog extensively on our next blog. Keep posted and enjoy art!

Getting prepared for Summer!

Spring brought wonderful themes. Our members where still busy developing our themes related to The Wonders of Canada.

Birds, wildlife, Canadian Shield, abstract images of minerals, even the Toronto Leafs banner where just some of our inspirations.

Month of May will give us time to think about our new themes for the Fall. Summer is getting close and we have our exhibit coming soon in the Fall. It will give us time to prepare our artworks for display.

The location will be the new gallery at the 

Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre.

 Alicia finishing a beautiful closeup of certain tulips. Very Spring like theme.

Karen, one of our newest members finished her first of many to come artworks. Congratulations Karen and welcome to the Studio

Making art, and having fun comes side by side. It has been great to see how members enjoy class while making new friends. 

Even had time to organise a pyjama party during class...

Music during class is a factor that creates a wonderful environment to work and get inspired.

Lauren finished her landscape inspired in flowers, impressionism and Canadian wild flowers.

Nimsy has now become part of our membership.

Congratulations Jaime for your lovely tulip!

Abstract inspired in floating ice from the Canadian glaciers. Congratulations Catalina for this interesting composition.

Yamile has made wonderful advances in her tapestry. Go Go Go.....Tapestry is a very meticulous technique, yet gratifying when finished. Keep us updated on your project. Is looking great!

Cami, you look so serious and yet you have such a wonderful humor  Keep up this great spirit and continue doing marvelous paintings.

Northern Lights by Taylor. I love when young generations explore the wonderful world of Tapestry.
