Creative Mixed Media, Creative Arts Certificate, Algonquin College Fall 2016
Colour Theory, Creative Arts Certificate, Algonquin College Winter 2017
What I am learning…
“Students explore alternative means to employ familiar mediums, such as acrylic paint, watercolour, ink, charcoal, pencil, coloured pencil and pastel. Students learn more about the properties of each material and how they interact with each other. Each exercise is intended to illustrate the principles of composition and to explain the many techniques available. Students are introduced to a number of historical and contemporary artists whose works attest to the varied and stunning results in the realm of mixed media.”
Professional Learning with those who have incredible experiences to offer…
Ann Pelo: The Language of Art April 2017
The Hundred Languages with Joanne Babalis January 2017
Bags of Wonder with Rosalba Bortolotti May 2017
These people are so interesting with their ideas, I am always thinking of how to use creative processes in our environments. These people help me to do this.
Further Research
I am currently studying more closely the creative and artistic processes of children and the interactions of educators, space, time and materials and how these combine to impact practice.
