We started using colour this week! What a great class of students. The artwork is fabulous. 

We also learned how to tell a sequential story that progresses through time. So much to learn!

One of our best excercises is the 20 minute challenge where we have only 20 minutes to create a whole comic. This leads to energetic drawing and a light hearted approach. This week Mehrafrooz "won" by completing her page in time - but sadly we didn't have a prize for her. The real prize, of course, is that we each made lively and energetic comics!

The Workshops are Finished and We Had an Exhibition

Our class has finished and we all enjoyed the reception at the Richmond Public Library. Merafrooz and Ghayda spoke to the audience and we posed for pictures with our artworks.  Ghayda and Merafrooz brought their children.  Bardia's artwork added his usual charm to the event.  Merafrooz showed a wonderful collection of varied pieces - both highly personal and full of helpful advice for newcomers to Canada.  Amir shared some brave and personal stories with touching skill. Ghayda produced some amazingly detailed and charming pieces detailing her new life in Canada.  Thank you to the City of Richmond Engaging Artists with Community residency and Richmond Multicultural Community Services for facilitating. We all hope to have more art classes!

Our last class! We all felt sad - and stayed late finishing up our graphic novel art pieces for the exhibition on November 6.  Ghayda' enjoyed using oil paints for the second class in a row. She seems like a pro suddenly! Merafroosh put a picture of me into her work!  Bardia turned a self portrait into a poster of his life philosophy.  Ghayda' is so pleased with how far her art has progressed in 10 weeks! Her original piece is on the right and her current portrait is on the left.  Ameer was focussed today on finishing various pieces and brought his mum to give her support!  We'll get together again in three weeks at our library show!
