NEW! Oh Canada!
|
A very vibrant and loving overview of Canadian culture from 1600 to our current times: geography, the First Nations reality, Catholicism and the French Canadians; Protestantism and the rise of English Canadian Nationalism; the First and Second World War; Canadian ideology confronted by European ideas, Internationalism versus Nationalism; French Canadian Automatism; the “letting go” of Canadian Puritanism in forging a true Canadian identity.
This seminar is the essential itinerary for any person having chosen to live in Canada, may it be for a year or their whole life, for it will direct him or her in the meanders of the Canadian psyche, built from the very first day of the colonization to the post-modernization of today.
At the end of this seven week class topped by an unforgettable comfortable stay in the Canadian woods, the newcomer will undoubtedly appreciate Canadian culture in its full sense, may it be aboriginal, French, English, or… To be concise, history of Canadian culture in conjunction with the various Canadian identities through, geography, history, “mediology” (discipline that studies mass media and power), and “dromology” (knowledge defined by space and “speed”).

Perpective Workshop

The aim of this course is to provide the students with a solid basic notion of one vanishing point perspective drawing. A series of exercises and problems will sharpen visual perception of various drawing components: horizon line, vanishing points, the reality, the virtual, etc. At the end of the session, he/she will be able to immediately transfer ideas directly to the paper from his/her imagination. The notion of depth will be more than accurate, therefore creating space in the drawing. This class is essential for the student intending to paint, applying to an architectural or animation program, or simply enjoying drawing and applying the rational behind the discipline.

All you need is a «beginner's mind», a hammer, saw, nail, glue, duc tape, crazy glue, wire, elastic, rope, etc. ; think of any building material that makes an object stands by itself. Sounds interesting... a great and fun way to investigate your creativity.
