Animal Landscape Drawing Workshop with Varley Art Gallery – June 15/16th – 9.30am/10.35am
In this workshop, students will create an animal landscape inspired by the
drawings of Inuk artist Pudlo Pudlat. Pudlat’s understanding of and approach
to landscape differed vastly from that of Southern Canadian artists. In his
work, there is often a flattening of space, simplification of form, and a playful
sense of humour. Classes are split into age groups. See the brochure for details.
