March Break: Portfolio Development - Drawing Intensive, Ages 13 - 15; Mon - Fri, 9 am - 4 pm,

Description

Portfolio development is a camp designed to help teen artists of all skill levels build upon their foundational fine art skills. Students will spend the first half of the week studying traditional drawing techniques and practices such as, still life, portraiture, plein-air landscape, and figure drawing. The second half of camp will be open-studio style and students will have a chance to develop their own projects. Through classroom discussions and critiques, students will gain an initial understanding of post-secondary art class settings. This camp will also involve a trip to the National Gallery of Canada where campers will have the opportunity to appreciate and discuss masterworks of fine art. After a week, campers will have a selection of completed pieces for their portfolios/applications.

Portfolio développement est un cours conçu pour aider les jeunes artistes de tous niveaux à développer leurs compétences fondamentales en beaux-arts. Le cours sera dédié à l’apprentissage des techniques et pratiques traditionnelles du dessin (la nature morte, le portrait, le paysage en plein air et le dessin de figures). La dernière moitié du cours sera un atelier ouvert où les élèves commenceront à développer leurs propres projets.
