Workshops
Observational Drawing
Create a 3D insect A class will choose to create
a butterfly*, honeybee or ladybug in this
workshop. Students will work with paper and
oil pastels or coloured pencils to create a
three dimensional insect, based on the true
anatomy of the insect. During the workshop,
the artist will explain the characteristics of
the insect and will guide students in learning
various techniques of colour application and
assembly. The butterfly becomes a mobile,
which can be manipulated like a marionette;
the ladybug explores origami techniques and
the honeybee focuses on cutting techniques
and assembly. Materials: $2.50 + HST per student

Élisabeth will demonstrate
techniques in colour
drawing while guiding the
students in drawing a
Canadian animal or plant,
previously chosen by the
teacher. The artist will
discuss the anatomy of
the subject encouraging
the students to observe
and learn about the
different parts of the plant or the animal.
Depending on the age of the group, the artist will
adapt the approach offering techniques such as
colour layering and exploring colours in both
shadow and light. Using mineral spirits, students
will complete the project by creating a background
that resembles a painting.
