WELCOME BACK!!

Welcome to all new & returning Visual Arts students!

This week, we are covering introductory topics. Course outlines were handed out and general review has started. Students are looking at the elements and principals of design and their role in composition. We are also looking at important studio basics such as safety procedures, proper use of equipment and supplies, classroom routines and general information and guidelines about the studio and the course itself. Our first project units are set to begin next week.

I wish you all an enjoyable and successful first semester in the studio!  :)

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

I wish all of my students a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Be sure to take in some of the amazing arts festivals, exhibits, and galleries in Winnipeg and anywhere else your travels may take you this summer.

See you in the fall!  :)
