Dates: Jul 12 to Jul 16; 8:30am to 4:30pm Learn to Draw What You See CEA955-30011
Learning to draw is in great part learning to really see what you are looking at. You then take that three- dimensional scene or object and translate it onto a two-dimensional surface. Using your drawing medium of choice (pencil, charcoal, paint, pastel, ink), you will receive instruction in all types of drawing. Landscape, wildlife, portraiture, life and still life will be explored during this course. Texture, the use of light and shadow, and composition will also be covered.

Minimal Lighting Techniques introduces the theory and methodology of photographic lighting to produce professional-grade, studio-like results with the use of compact flash units, off-camera triggers (wireless remotes or optical slaves), and simple, inexpensive light modifiers. Beginning with single-light set-ups and techniques and progressing to multiple-light set-ups, the workshop will also address balancing light sources of different colour temperatures and how to photograph difficult-to-render subjects such as glass, metal and jewellery. A single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, preferably digital (D-SLR), and basic operational knowledge, along with one or more manually -controllable electronic flash units, are required.

Dates: Jul 12 to Jul 16; 8:30am to 4:30pm Needle Felting Class CEA915-30887
Needle felting is a relatively new textile art form that is gaining popularity as more and more people discover it. The technique is very different from traditional wet-felting methods and is easy to learn. Special barbed felting needles are used to catch and bind the scales of the wool fibre together. Needle felting can be done by hand or by machine. If you have a needle felting machine, bring it; if not there will be machines available for you to try. You will learn the basics of needle felting on a simple project and then move on to more complex projects as you become familiar with the process. You will explore both landscape and abstract in a 2-D format with some added 3-D embellishments created from the fibre. Enquire at www.orangecatstudio.com if you have questions about equipment.
