1. Grow with Art - Grandir avec L’art

October Speaker – Suzanne Warren Powell

Tuesday October 22 – mardi le 22 octobre
7:00 “Meet and Greet” à 19h
7:30 Announcements / Annonces à 19h30
7 :45 Présentation à 19h45
Room 340 - salle 340
255 Centrum Blvd / boul Centrum

In all things creative, what gets overlooked is the absolute uniqueness of every individual. Suzanne Warren Powell will provide an overview of some of the paths, people and ideas that affected her artistic journey.

Suzanne has been teaching Fine Art and mentoring in Creativity since 1985, through the City of Ottawa, regional School Boards, Art Associations and her own studio. Previously, she earned degrees in the Arts, Education and has Master’s degree in Educational Technology. As a result, she is well-known for creating and designing new and exciting classes in the fine arts.

Originally destined to be a performance musician, Suzanne learned to play musical instruments and sang in professional groups. However, she resumed a keen interest in painting and soon won several awards. Teaching offers quickly followed.

In 2001, Suzanne co-founded OMMA (Ottawa Mixed Media Artists) with two of her students to further the awareness of, and showcase Mixed Media painting which she had been teaching for several years. OMMA currently exhibits throughout the capital region. On its inception, Suzanne was honoured with the title of permanent artist/mentor for OMMA.

Her love of nature and a Zen approach to life and creativity has led Suzanne into the arts and culture of the Far East. She practices Miksang photography, a form of meditative Tibetan Dharma art and writes Haiku poetry. Suzanne lives on a large rural property which features trails through meadows, woods and wetlands. This untamed landscape renews her artistic vision every day.

Recently, Suzanne has been teaching Wabi Sabi art (the Japanese aesthetic branch of Zen philosophy), Japonisme and Expressive Drawing. This presentation will be in English.

-----------

Ce qui est négligé dans la créativité est l'unicité absolue de chaque individu. Suzanne Warren Powell donnera un aperçu de son cheminement, des personnes et des idées qui ont influencé son parcours artistique.

Depuis 1985, Suzanne enseigne les beaux-arts, le mentorat en créativité auprès du Cité d’Ottawa, des conseils scolaires, des associations artistiques de la région et de son studio. Suzanne a obtenu plusieurs diplômes universitaires notamment en beaux-arts, en éducation ainsi qu’une maîtrise en technologie éducative. Elle est bien connue pour sa passion, sa création et sa conception de nouvelles classes stimulantes dans le domaine des beaux-arts.

Á l’origine destinée à être musicienne, Suzanne a appris à jouer des instruments de musique. Elle a chanté dans divers groupes professionnels. Cependant, son intérêt marqué pour la peinture lui a permis de remporter plusieurs prix d’excellence. Par la suite, des offres d'enseignement s’en sont suivies.

En 2001, Suzanne a cofondé OMMA (Ottawa Mixed Media Artists) avec deux de ses élèves afin de sensibiliser et valoriser la peinture mixte qu'elle enseigne depuis plusieurs années. Les artistes de OMMA exposent actuellement au sein de la capitale. Lors de la création de OMMA, Suzanne obtint le titre honorifique de mentor et d’artiste permanent.

Son amour pour la nature et son approche zen de la vie et de la créativité l’a conduite vers les arts et la culture de l'Extrême-Orient. Elle pratique la photographie de Miksang, une forme d'art Dharma tibétain méditatif et elle écrit de la poésie Haïku.

Suzanne vit dans une zone rurale qui lui offre divers sentiers boisés et de terres humides. Ce paysage sauvage renouvelle chaque jour sa vision artistique.

Récemment, Suzanne enseigne l'esthétique japonaise ‘wabi-sabi’ (branche esthétique japonaise imprégnée de la philosophie zen), le dessin d’expression et le japonisme. Cette présentation sera faite en anglais seulement.

************
By popular demand, another Stone Bear Carving workshop will be held. This time the project will be a crouching bear in brown stone.

When: Saturday May 25, 09:00 to 17:00
Where: Smith and Barber Atelier
1520 Triole (Belfast and St. Laurent, behind Red Lobster)
Workshop Leader: Patrick Imai

Looking for a special handmade gift to give for a wedding or other occasion. Learn how to carve stone using hand tools. You will be guided by the instructor, Patrick Imai, through the stone carving process of cutting, shaping, sanding and polishing to produce a small bear, 3” x 3” x 5”. Tools and materials are provided.

Patrick Imai is a self-taught sculptor who has carved for more than 40 years. He has dabbled in other art forms: sketching, painting and glass (stained, fused, flamework), but he always returned to carving. He carved in wood, whittling small animals and figures with a pocket knife or with palm chisels, then in the late 90’s, Patrick tried stone carving. He was hooked by the ease of working with soapstone and by the colours and texture of the polished stone. He has since carved alabaster, serpentine, limestone, selenite and marble. Patrick has a passion for carving bears. He works to evoke human emotions and movement in his carvings.

with Alan Bain – April 8th, 2019 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

This one day workshop will be held at the City Archive Facilities, Room 115, 100 Tallwood Ave. with Alan Bain. This workshop is for artists who want to learn how to prepare hard surfaces, such as Masonite or Birch panels, so that the panels will accept standard watercolour paints.

While you are waiting for each coat on the panels to dry, you will paint a watercolour on a prepared 10 X 12 masonite panel. Participants should bring their own watercolour paints and a subject or photo for inspiration.

The workshop is open to 14 participants and the cost is $45.00 per participant which includes three panels; one prepared and two that will be prepared during the workshop.
