Braided Mat Workshop**
COURSE CODE ARTS791 SECTION 49
INSTRUCTOR Wendy E. Bateman
DATES October 26, 2013 9:00 – 5:00pm
FEE $102.25
Learn hand-manipulated braiding techniques on simple round warped
looms, to create durable and useful mats or chair pads. This technique
differs from traditional braiding in that the finished product is created
on a bicycle rim loom, without the sewing together of each round.
Instruction includes warping, pattern design and finishing methods. No
previous experience is required to enjoy this workshop. You will receive
sufficient instruction to complete your project at home. A supply of
wool strips and rim looms kits will be available for purchase from the
instructor. There will be a $32 material fee payable to the instructor for a
supply of wool strips and rim loom kit.

Creative Brush Expressions – Japanese Sumi-e**
COURSE CODE ARTS1777 SECTION 49
INSTRUCTOR Cassandra Wyszkowski
DATES October 26, 2013 9:00 – 5:00pm
FEE $102.25
Please note: Students who have taken this workshop previously will be
accommodated and challenged at the appropriate level of skill.
This unique workshop is suitable for the beginner painter or the
seasoned artist and is designed to introduce the fascinating world of
Japanese Brush Painting (known as Sumi-e). Instruction in this waterbased
medium will emphasize: various brush techniques, gradation of
tones/values to achieve depth, amazing textures for rocks and trees,
brush control that develops spontaneous expression, and effective
simplicity in composition and design. Also included will be the beautiful
Chrysanthemum paragon, revered in Japan as a symbol of loyalty and
devotion. This stimulating technique can be expressed in an abstract
or a more representational approach, with an overlying impressionistic,
personal style that encourages the creative spirit. Potters and fabric
painters who wish to beautify their work with expressive brush strokes
will also benefit from this instruction. Beautiful soft flowing music will
underpin the learning process by adding a peaceful atmosphere. There
will be a $35 material fee payable to the instructor.

Expressive Faces Workshop**

INSTRUCTOR Ramune Luminaire
DATES October 26, 2013 9:00 – 5:00pm
FEE $102.25
Please note: This workshop is not suitable for beginners to drawing but
does not require portrait experience.
Create faces that express personality and really say something about
your subject. Move beyond reproducing a likeness and into producing
forceful portraits that convey meaning and emotion. Learn to feel your
way into an image, and let go of preconceived notions of how a face
should look or what your work should be like. Lessons will include
exercises to loosen up and come from a place of true expression.
Although some drawing experience is required, it is not necessary to be
experienced or competent at drawing or painting portraits. Initial work
will be done using charcoal and graphite, after which you are free to use
whatever medium you prefer.
