JANUARY/FEBRUARY WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS from 10:00 - 11:00 JANUARY 14 JAPANESE PAPER MOSAICS: Using an assortment of beautiful Japanese paper tiles we will design bold and colourful mosaics on canvas inspired by the stone mosaics from around the world. JANUARY 21 MONOPRINTS: Monoprints are single prints created by using ink and paint on plexiglass to draw and scratch a variety of textures, lines and drawings on the surface. The plexiglass is then printed onto paper creating one-of-a-kind mixed media prints on paper. This workshop is a great way to experiment with printmaking! JANUARY 28 WATERCOLOUR & INK ANIMALS: This workshop will teach you the basics about how to draw animals. We will then transform your favourite drawing into a watercolour painting. A variety of fun watercolour techniques will also be introduced. FEBRUARY 4 PAPER JEWELLERY: Originating in Victorian times when women would gather in their parlour to make paper beads from wallpaper scraps they had gathered to present-day African cooperatives that produce paper beads from old posters, magazines and newspapers making paper jewellery has a long history and is a fun way to create funky and colourful jewellery including necklaces, bracelets, earrings and functional objects. This workshop will introduce students to the techniques and materials involved and will allow them to create a variety of wearable art pieces! FEBRUARY 11 FABRIC VALENTINES: Using the detailed fabric molas from the Cuna culture in Panama as inspiration students will learn about the mola techniques used in reverse appliqué (the layering of coloured fabrics onto of each other to build up an image) and will learn about the bold colours, patterns and designs in order to create their own assortment of unique fabric Valentines. FEBRUARY 18 SELF-PORTRAITS INSPIRED BY ANDY WARHOL: Andy Warhol’s Pop Art that used repeated images from consumer culture, bright bold colours and famous faces will be the inspiration for this painting workshop. Using their own school photo as inspiration each student will create a pop art painting on canvas. FOR THIS WORKSHOP KIDS ARE ASKED TO BRING ALONG A 4X6” OR LARGER SCHOOL PHOTO. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PHOTO WILL NOT BE DAMAGED OR USED IN THE PAINTING!
