Dear
Students and Friends,
With 12 separate camps we have just completed a spectacular and
vibrant summer at the studio! Having offered weekly Visual Arts
Camps along with several Sculpting, Storyboarding, and Creative
Writing Workshops, we watched artists of all ages accomplish
wonderful works of art and walk away with a wealth of new
knowledge and bottomless inspiration for future projects. We
would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our campers,
their parents, and our amazing team of instructors and
volunteers. Your hard work, sheer enjoyment, and dedication to
the arts have created a warm, fun, and productive atmosphere at
ArtVenture this summer, and for that we are grateful. We invite
you to browse through our
photo gallery to see some of the highlights
from the summer.
As we get ready to start the school year we wish to welcome our
new and returning students to another promising term at
ArtVenture. Our
Fall
Term will run September 10th through December
15th for school age students, and October 1st to November 16th
for adults. Many of our classes are full and we have,
therefore, added a wait-list for potential new time-slots and
last minute changes. If a class scheduled at your preferred time
is already full, please place a deposit and email or call us
requesting to be placed on a wait-list. Deposits will be fully
refunded if space does not become available, or it can be used
to hold a spot in our upcoming Winter Term.
We are excited to introduce to you our
staff - now featured on our website - and we encourage new
and returning students to visit the page and get to know us.
As always, we
hope you can stay connected with us
via
Twitter and
Facebook for year-round news and fun-facts from
around the art-world, and look forward to seeing
you in the new term.
Artistically Yours,
The ArtVenture Team

Sparks
of inspiration happen when we empower art students to delve
into creating their own compositions. By using the language
of the Elements & Principles of Art and Design, we tapped
into our students’ ability to critically think of their art
as they composed work with thought and purpose. Throughout
this past summer we celebrated the great achievements of
notable 20th Century artists and fell in love
with the artwork they left behind as their legacies. Using
the works of Matisse, Klimt, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Rodin,
we discussed the ways in which these great artists used
Colour, Lines, Shapes, Texture and Volume in their work to
further enhance their masterpieces. As each camper attended
to these elements of art within their own artwork, they
learned about the emotive nature of art and the importance
of artistic choices within their own compositions.
Together we expanded, experimented, and explored a wide
range of techniques ranging from paintings, to drawing,
sculpting, animating, story writing, and story illustration.
Whether our campers were just beginning Kindergarten or in
the throws of their High School years, they were challenged
as artists and as critical thinkers. By embracing new
knowledge of art history, colour theory, art medium, styles
and technique, we were able to see personal growth in each
and every student this summer. And the visual results were
indeed stunning! |

Colour
theory encompasses many definitions and concepts - enough to
fill several encyclopaedias. However, there are three basic
categories of color theory that are useful for artists: color
wheel, color harmony, and the context of how colors are used
together. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram
of colors in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have
studied and designed numerous variations of this concept. No
matter which variation is used by artists, a colour wheel allows
us to identify primary, secondary, tertiary, analogous and
complementary colours along with the tints and shades of each
colour. Learning about the different categories within the
colour wheel allows artists to make different choices as they
develop their work of art. To test your Colour Theory knowledge,

Happy Birthday To You…
We wish our current and past July, August, and September
