A COMMITMENT TO ART & ART MAKERS Our Programs and Instructors For over 80 years, WAG Studio has built a strong reputation for providing excellence in art instruction for children, teens, and adults. Classes incorporate current exhibitions with special tours, fostering a connection between the art on view in the galleries and the art created in the classrooms.

All of our instructors have degrees and/or diplomas from universities or art colleges and many have master’s degrees and additional certification in education. While most work in private studios, instructors also bring experience as actors, administrators, art therapists, designers, and members of artist-run centres.

For more information about our instructors, visit wag.ca/studio

Our Interim Location All art classes take place in the newly renovated space on the Gallery’s lower level. Public access is down the ramp of the WAG building on Colony St. This interim location accommodates Studio programs as the WAG works to develop the Inuit Art Centre – a state-of-the-art building that will house the Gallery’s celebrated collection of contemporary Inuit art and related programs. We eagerly await our new home in the penthouse level of the WAG where art education will expand with larger and more versatile spaces!

If you have questions, please contact: Rachel Baerg, Head of Education at art-educator@wag.ca, or Diane Lafournaise, Manager of WAG Studio at studioprograms@wag.ca.

FALL ADULT ART CLASSES WAG Studio offers many ways to explore your creativity with beginner and intermediate courses in a variety of media. Unless otherwise indicated, adults provide their own tools and materials for classes. Students in beginner courses will be supplied with materials for the first class, while those in intermediate courses should bring their own selection. Supply lists are handed out on the first day of class. For special workshops, supplies are generally included in the class cost.

BEGINNER All skill levels welcome • No pre-requisites required 10-WEEK CLASSES

NEW! Fashion Arts

Drawing Basics

With a DIY focus on fashion related crafting techniques you will develop a variety of skills to help you create your own one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories. Re-style your own garments with handmade flare, using fabric paint, printmaking, embroidery, sewn embellishments, or creative re-structuring. Students are encouraged to bring their own sewing machine.

For students with little or no drawing experience, this introduction to the fundamental techniques and concepts of drawing will sharpen observational skills and build confidence. Practice translating what you see into what you draw as you work with a variety of subjects, including still life studies and the human form.

Introduction to Watercolour

Pottery Drop-in

Explore the wonderful world of watercolour with an overview of its basic techniques, the use and care of paints and brushes, and the fundamental elements of design and colour theory.

Oct 14-Dec 3 • $10 per class Saturdays • 9-11am Sundays • 11am-1:30pm

Painting Basics Have you always wanted to paint but never knew where to begin? Or looking to make the transition from drawing to painting? Learn about technique, colour, brushes, how to use acrylic paint and other painting media in a supportive and creative environment.

Pottery Back by popular demand!

Discover hand building, which includes slab building, slump molded forms, and throwing on the potter’s wheel. From basic thrown or hand-built forms you will produce mugs, bowls, and platters. You will also learn glazing and decorating techniques to finish your work and develop your own ideas related to functional and nonfunctional forms.

A new service for adult students currently enrolled in our pottery classes. With no instruction given, enjoy spending more time in the studio honing your skills. Prior approval from your WAG instructor is required. All pottery drop-in students are expected to clean up after themselves, as the studio is shared with other classes. No advance registration is required; payment is collected each week at the WAG Studio reception. Bring your own supplies. Use of clay is limited to one box per student provided in your pottery class.

20-WEEK CLASSES Traditional Drawing Learn the fundamentals of drawing and build skills that transfer to other art practices. Academic drawing remains an incredibly valuable method for developing dexterity and sensitivity with materials such as pencil and charcoal. The media and subjects of this class are basic, but its highly disciplined approach will reward you with a depth of skill that is acquired through time and practice.

This course takes place over two sessions – Fall 2017 and Winter 2018.

THE NEXT LEVEL Pre-requisite: Drawing Basics or equivalent experience The Figure in Art Using a variety of drawing materials, you will work from a model and learn about proportion, foreshortening, and other fundamental techniques for drawing the human form.
