We've Been Busy!

 Art Tracks has seen a great deal of activity in recent weeks.  To accomodate our growing numbers, we were pleased to announce the opening of another class (at our Runnymede location) in January.   Moreover, given the flurry of drawing, painting and general creativity taking place, we are making plans for an exhibition in June, 2012.  We'll be posting the date and location in the next few weeks, so keep checking in!  Meanwhile, to see what our wonderful artists have been up to,  please scroll down the pages below, and feel free to leave comments!

Porcupine - Oil Pastel by Larissa (grade 5)

Larissa took several sessions to to complete this delightful little composition, and I think her efforts certainly paid off.  Notice her careful attention to detail --- not only does she give us a careful rendering of the porcupine,  but also the surrounding shrubbery and the log.  Her use of a strong background colour is also effective, making her drawing "pop out" and giving definition to the negative shapes around and between the forms.

Cat - Pencil Drawing by Caroline - grade 5

Caroline has stated that she generally prefers painting landscapes and drawing characters from her imagination to copying from pictures or models.  However, this week she decided to venture into new territory and try her hand at a cat portrait.  I love the "don't mess with me" expression of this little guy!  Great work Caroline!
