Adult Figurative Drawing Class

Event Date: 
Sunday, March 3, 2019
Time: 
10:00am - 3:00pm

Instructor: Gordon Milne, exhibiting artist

This class will focus on creating gesture drawings that are based on dance and dancers. We will be working with the assistance of live ballet dancers from the Motion Dance Academy and will concentrate on producing quick, loose, informational sketches intended to capture the beauty and freedom of movement. This will be a very hands-on class that encourages intense observation and a brave approach to drawing. It’s going to be challenging…but fun! Hosted in conjunction with the Fernie Museum's exhibit, Perfect Line.

What Does Griz Do During the Summer Story Writing Contest

Posted: 
Jan 17, 2019

Storytelling is an ancient artform we continue to use today. Everyone has a bit of storytelling in them. The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is running a contest for the 2019 Griz Days. The hope is to draw out the storytelling skills of the children and youth of the Elk Valley as they share their ideas of what the Griz does during the summer.
