Saturday, October
16 (9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.)
This one day workshop includes slide lectures, hands on watercolour painting
and discussions.
The session will begin with a slide showing of 20th century artists whose
abstract paintings systematically attempted to convey emotion and feeling
outside of direct representation. The written work of Wassily Kandinsky,
On the Spiritual Art, will provide a springboard for this watercolour
workshop.
There will be an introduction to elementary watercolour techniques with
a focus on improvisation. No previous art experience necessary.
This workshop is excellent for those needing to reaffirm or sustain a
sense of authenticity of true self within their own art; wanting to have
fun and learn exercises that are important in maintaining emotion centeredness;
willing to be open to the idea of breaking conventions with their art.
Facilitated by Marsha Kennedy
Marsha teaches art in the Department of Visual Arts at the University
of Regina. She is an artist committed to painting as her major art medium
of expression.
Cost: $40 (includes paper) - please bring own art supplies including watercolour
paints and brushes. Session also includes lunch.
