Painting: The Canadian Landscape I focuses on engaging with the approaches of foundational Canadian painters who sought to interpret and represent the land. The instructor will present a selection of artists from across Canada up to the 1970s, including Clarence Gagnon, Tom Thomsom, Anne Savage, David Milne, James W. Morrice, Emily Carr, the Group of Seven, William Kurelek, and others. Students will select one artist per week to do further research on and make a landscape painting based on something they learned from this artist. Students may paint in a medium of their choice including watercolour, gouache, acrylic or oils. This course is a great way to learn about Canadian art history while applying new ideas and techniques to your work. Some painting experience is recommended.
