Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We prepare some presents for Christmas time. 

October. Thanksgiving.

I like this holiday. We discuss with students not only symbols of the holiday, but also about things around us that we should be thankful. Also, we need to remember that the words "thank you" can help you to share your love.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely yours,

Alla

We have started our learning year with soft pastel.

There are a lot of knowledge and skills that we practice behind these pictures: mass drawing and lines, theory of colors and many others.

School days are coming

We still can enjoy warm days and flowers, but it is already the end of summer.

 Parents with children are shopping for pens, pencils, books and others to be ready for school. Teachers have made last preparations for the students' arrival. We all will be involved in the school routine very soon.

Drawing lessons cannot be routine however. Even if we use the same media during the lesson, the results are always different. Students learn through the creative process not only the theory of color, which kind of paper to use, how to get certain brushstroke but also the opportunity to prove oneself.

Classes begin on the 4th of September for children aged 4-12. An approximate schedule of sessions and classes can be found here: Schedule

 We were waiting for spring time very long time. Finally,  it is warm and nice in Calgary.

Great time to get inspiration from outside. Spring blossom! Mother's Day!  New born bunnies and kittens... and many others.

We were practicing with different media during the year. Now we can choose not only the object for the project,but also media to full fill the task. More pictures you can find in Gallery

We are continuing to work with brushes:

We learned how to make different brushstrokes with round brushes.


I try to teach students to enjoy practicing different position of the hand with a brush. It is like a game "What mark I can get if I hold it different way"

Mandala art, tradition art of different countries teach us brush strokes perfectly.

All of our experiments and brushwork  prepare our hands to make something decorative, for example: Easter eggs or presents for our friends.
