Introduction To

Cyanotype

Class Description

Cyanotype is an easy photographic printing process that uses sunshine to aid in the creation of beautiful blue coloured prints. By arranging items onto paper prepared with a photo emulsion and then exposed to sunlight, you will create 3 or 4 unique cyanotype images. By the end of the workshop, one of your prints will become a completed piece of art ready to display in your home!

Cyanotype artists will often use flowers, leaves, and other plant life forms to create their compositions. Another popular object of choice is glass. Its transparent quality can produce many different tones of blue, which adds a marvelous depth and richness to the image. Prepare to be amazed by this magical process!

Time: Sundays at 1-3:30pm

Dates TBD

Cost (including materials + GST): $40.

Perfect for adults and teens ages 12 and older.

FAQS

What Makes Your Teaching Method Unique?

We can teach ANYONE how to draw in as little as a day.

Aliki's 7-step system is a sequential process of teaching the basic fundamental skills of drawing as a series of steps. We define concepts and vocabulary, explain the process and demonstrate how to practice techniques succeed while providing feedback along the way. Our methodology has been refined and proven successful for more than three decades.

What Can I Do At Home To Help My Child Learn to Draw?

One of the best things you can do is encourage your child to use a visual reference when drawing.

Is It Possible To Learn How To Be An Artist, Even Without A Natural Talent?

Yes, it is definitely possible to learn to be an artist! While some people may have a natural inclination or talent for art, becoming an artist is largely a matter of practice, learning, and developing skills. Talent is optional – interest is an asset! Drawing classes will get one started on an artistic and creative path.

My Kids Don’t Show Much Interest In Art And I’m Not Sure If They Are Talented Enough To Take Classes. Any Suggestions?

Many children may not show an interest in art simply because they haven't been exposed to the techniques and skills needed to create. Art education plays a crucial role in developing children's confidence and abilities. When children are taught specific drawing skills, such as understanding shapes, proportions, and shading, they gain the tools they need to express themselves. This technical knowledge can boost their confidence and encourage them to explore their creativity.
