Visual Arts: Practice,
From 59.96 C$ /h
This visual arts class offers students a structured introduction to both the practice and theory of art. Through hands-on activities such as drawing, painting, and working with mixed media, students will develop their technical skills and creativity. At the same time, they will explore important art movements, styles, and artists from different cultures and historical periods.
The course encourages students to think critically about what art means, how it is created, and how it reflects the world around us. Lessons include discussions, visual analysis, and short readings to help students understand how art connects to ideas like identity, culture, and history.
Students are guided to express their own thoughts and experiences through their artwork, while also learning to describe and reflect on the work of others. By the end of the course, they will have built a small portfolio and gained greater confidence in both making and understanding visual art.
The class can be conducted in English or French.

About Me
I’m an art educator and PhD researcher in Fine Arts, with over six years of teaching experience.
My work explores how culture and identity influence visual expression, especially through colour.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy hiking, museums, sketching, and quiet time in nature.
I teach in English and French, and I enjoy working with diverse learners.
For me, art education is about helping students grow creatively and personally. It also supports motor skills and technique through hands-on exploration and practice.
