DRAWINGJean Peacock is a new instructor at the Arts Centre. We are very pleased to have her wealth of

classes in a variety of media.To start off her adult visual art classes, we offer this beginner’s drawing program. Each class will begin with a free form mark making exercise as a warm up. On the last class the group will make their own sketchbook to take home with a variety of paper types bound in a simple bookbinding technique. All materials are provided for students’ use during the sessions. Jean will lead the group through a series of exercises, covering all the basics such as:• Drawing Tools & Papers• Drawing Techniques such as shading & cross hatching• Descriptive Line & Gestural Line• Building Structure and Depth • Composition and Perspective • Create your own sketchbook & learn a basic bookbinding technique

take this course prior to the Pastel course in June if you do not already have the basics of drawing, or need a refresher.Instructor: Jean Peacock BFA19123SaturdayMay 6 – June 310 am - noon$85 / $102

PASTELIn the second of Jean Peacock’s visual art programs available this spring, students will learn how to work in soft pastel. Pastel techniques can be challenging since the medium is mixed and blended directly on the working surface, and unlike paint, colors cannot be tested on a palette before applying to the surface. This is why instruction is so important to getting started into the wonderful possibilities of the medium. Pastel errors cannot be covered the way a paint error can be painted out. Experimentation with the pastel medium on a small scale in order to learn various techniques gives the user a better command over a larger composition. All materials provided. Some drawing skill recommended. For brush - ups on technique, see the Drawing course offered in May. Strong drawing ability is not necessary -- the focus of the program is pastel technique. The instructor will provide prepared drawings for the exercises for the students to work from.Instructor: Jean Peacock BFA19124Sunday June 4 – 25 1 – 3 pm$100 / $120
