This course is designed for emerging young artists looking to develop a strong and varied body of work for portfolio applications, critique, or personal development. Participants will strengthen their artistic skills while exploring a variety of media, observational approaches, and compositional strategies. Throughout the course, students will create and develop portfolio-worthy pieces that showcase their individual interests, range, and strengths. Each session introduces new materials, techniques, and creative approaches, with guidance and feedback from fun and friendly artist instructor Veronika Bondarenko (BFA, OCAD). Easels are available and all materials are included.
