Upcoming events:
The Sienna Arts Studio and Gallery has been extremely busy in 2009, 2010, and now in 2011, it is proving to be an exciting year also. Check out the info for art CLASSES for both ADULTS and CHILDREN, to be held at both Sienna Arts (696-3790 or constance@siennaarts.ca) and the Saint John Arts Centre (633-4870 or www.saintjohnartscentre.com) this winter and later in summer, 2011. The following was last year's schedule:
Kids' Morning Art Camps
Say yes to Summer Art! A wonderful opportunity to learn “real” drawing and painting skills on those bright summer mornings. Register now to participate in the fascinating and colourful world of drawing and painting. In perspective or in action, painting skateboarders, swimmers or perhaps a landscape view of Saint John, whatever it is, let the artist in your child learn through art as they join Constance Wooldridge in an all inclusive course. Participants will learn through art in a variety of mediums and subjects that will be interactive and fun, too!
July Morning Camp: Monday, July 12 to Friday, July 16 • 9am - noon • Cost: $105 - UPDATE: FULL
August Morning Camp: Monday, August 9 to Friday, August 13 • 9am - noon • Cost: $105
SPaRT: Sport-Participation-Art-Recreation-Together! Kids' Day Camps
In a theme-based week filled with art and recreation, join Constance Wooldridge and friends as we introduce your child to a week of visual art instruction, swimming and a visit to the library. Children will learn through painting and drawing and produce an original piece of art that will be presented at the Saint John Arts Centre following the workshop. Participants are required to bring their own lunches and library cards. Permission slips will be required to attend swimming and library events.
This class is ideal for the young artist, aged 8-12, who is looking to explore and experience art on a variety of levels. Through SPaRT, students will be enriched through the enhancement of a variety of media:
Class #1: Drawing with pencils, charcoal, pencil crayons. Topics include landscape, portraiture and still-life, emphasizing composition and light.
Class #2: Pastels, the main project being a pastel painting on board with a textured ground.
Class #3: Painting, using different water-based paints on different surfaces, and using mixed media also. Also using everyday items to produce a medium to use with paint rather than purchasing ready-made medium in art stores.
Class #4: Encaustics, creating paintings with melted brightly-coloured waxes on paper and/or boards using proper encaustic tools.
Class #5: Clay, hand-molded sculpture and also using mixed media to produce one-of-a-kind work
Participants will be invited to write about their experience and to share their final presentation of art and writing in a story that can be featured on the Saint John 225 Website. Additionally, students will be invited to exhibit their work in a final art presentation to the public.
July SPaRT Camp: Monday, July 26 to Friday, July 30 • 9am - 4pm
