This class invites students to trust the unpredictable and rediscover creativity that lives just beyond the edge of what is known. We will draw inspiration from a vast tapestry of sources, from the fractured language of poems and the archetypal whispers of fairy tales to the forgotten details of your own personal history. The goal is not to illustrate a story, but to channel its essence. We will abandon the pursuit of "perfection" and embrace the alchemy of process. We will learn that true creation is less about control and more about growth being the constant, transforming our art and ourselves again and again. This is an invitation to step onto the shifting ground of your own creativity and find out what happens just beyond the edge. Art Supply List OAS Fall 2026 Judy Mayer-Grieve

The impressionist artists were not trying to paint a reflection of real life, but an ‘impression’ of what the person, light, atmosphere, object or landscape looked like to them. And that’s why they were called impressionists! They tried to capture the movement and life of what they saw and show it to us as if it were happening before our eyes. With a focus on the fundamentals of composition, this course delves into the importance of visual set up, values and brush strokes to create aesthetic and emotive paintings in an impressionist manner. You’ll work initially to create pencil sketches that will evolve, with the instructor’s guidance, into fully developed paintings. With attention to light and values, colour, shape, placement and proportion of elements, and the harmony of brush strokes, you’ll learn how to develop works that are visually strong and feel fulfilling and meaningful.
