ADULT PROGRAM
Sketching Manitoba in
Watercolours
Jim Danino
Here’s an opportunity to practice landscape
components—skies, trees, grasses, rocks,
water (and maybe buildings)—to create a
few simple watercolours of beautiful
Manitoba. By keeping things uncomplicated
and impressionistic, and using photos as our
inspiration, you will produce some landscapes that will capture the essence of your
“home and native land.” The course will
include demonstrations, tips and tricks,
colour-mixing exercises, all tools and
paints, and photo references to work from.
All materials are supplied but participants
may bring their own brushes and palettes if
they wish. All you need is to bring a lunch
and we can picnic while we work. Ages 16+
The Manitoba Holiday Festival of the Arts owes
its beginning to Gissur Eliasson of the School
of Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba. He
recognized a lack of art opportunities available
for the creative individual and started a
“Painting in the Park” program. With the help
of the Neepawa Chamber of Commerce, the
Neepawa Fine Arts Festival, Neepawa Collegiate Institute Staff and others, the foundations
of the Festival were laid. The Festival has
grown to include the literary and performing
arts as well as various crafts.

Weekday Classes : July 6-10
Life is a Book
Stacey Silverthorn
We all already know how to pretend, so in
this course we’ll take those imaginative
impulses and use them in games, creative
exercises, and learning how to act. Open
up your imagination!
Inspired by the book A Beautiful Oops by
Barney Saltzberg, we will explore captivating literature that will give us the key to
unlock the doors to our imagination! These
magical portals of discovery will open to
adventures in creativity. Each day will begin
with a book that will take us through a
threshold of new possibilities to find hidden
treasures that are everywhere and the mysterious, wonderful places they are found.
From a rock, to a box, to a dot on a page, A
Beautful Oops teaches us that by finding
simple treasure we can create beautiful mistakes and discover that “the greatest secrets
are always hidden in the most unlikely
places” (Roald Dahl).
