Kids Art Programs   Winter/Spring 2010
NEW for 2010- please note:
We are implementing a new approach for the Jan- Mar. and Mar. - May sessions.
We have found over the last few years that often kids are unable to take a desired class because it conflicts with other
activities.  For winter and spring classes 2010 we will be offering mixed classes. Students can now choose from one of five
different programs AND choose the day that is most convenient.

No previous experience is required. All kids classes include materials.  All class prices include GST.

Note to previous students: If you have taken the same or similar classes in the past, the program will be altered so that you
will be doing different projects or learning different techniques or subject matter.

All classes listed below are available at the following times.


Space is limited to 10 students per group. Students are asked to stick to their chosen time . Make up classes can be done in
another time slot if space is available.
Fun with  Paint  
(Ages 6 - 14)

This class introduces the fundamentals of painting, from stretching a canvas
to mixing colours and applying paint.  Various techniques will be explored.  
We will also be experimenting with watercolour paint, acrylic paint, tempra
paint and water based oil paint  Students will paint from photo references
and from their imagination.
All New Cartoon & Manga Madness

The focus of this program will differ from the previous program offered
in the spring of 2009

Want to learn to draw your own comics, cartoons & Japanese style
comics? Kids and teens will learn the primary aspects of cartoon
character development such as facial expressions, figures in
