About the event
This 1.5-hour workshop will consider the elements of landscape that capture the imagination. From vast skies, deep waters, vanishing roadways, and windblown forests to the shadows of an urban high-rise and everything in between, each student will build an image of a landscape that reveals a bit of their story. Working with acrylic paint and drawing from their own connections to land students will be encouraged to engage with narrative, perspective, colour, and mark-making to craft a unique and imagined landscape painting.
