Welcome to the Monart Art School of Ottawa
Our studio is a
licensed Monart Drawing School - a place where anyone
can learn to draw and discover new ways to express his or
her creative fire! We offer classes for both children and
adults - whether you are 5 or 95, come and join
us!
Just as learning musical notes is fundamental to playing
an instrument or practicing ballet positions is basic to a
dancer, learning to draw is a foundation for all of the visual
arts and a true life-skill that can foster an appreciation
for the natural world, stimulate a creative spirit, and even
enrich a career. Find out more about the Monart
method and the Monart Art School
of Ottawa on this website, and make sure to check back
regularly to see what's new!
Fine Art Workshop Series: Graphite Pencil Techniques (May 2010)
Join instructor Mike Sibley in an informal workshop designed for artists of all abilities, from novice to advanced, and who have a desire to take their
drawing to a new level of realism.
Mike will show you how realism is achieved by closely studying textures, and then mastering the ways to interpret them and commit them to paper. This workshop will provide you with a greater ability to explore
and understand textures, the techniques required to render them in a believable way, and you will learn both the "how" and the "why". Whatever your present ability, you will leave with a new-found knowledge of how to
draw and use textures to the benefit of your work.
