To accommodate participants, Visual Arts Brampton has changed the days of their two workshops.

The Drawing in Colour and Black and White workshop with Keith Moreau will be held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.

The cost is $40 for the eight-week course.

Participants will get an overview of perspective, still life drawing, portrait experience, two weeks with the white line drawing techniques of scratchboard and finish the sessions with two weeks of the Art of Coloured Pencil.

The class will be held at the newly-refurbished Visual Arts Brampton studio, 1 Bartley Bull Pkwy., which is located at the north-east corner of Hwy. 10 and Steeles Avenue, in the lower level of the Bartley Square Mall.

The Animex workshops with Tony Tarantini will now be held on Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m., starting this Monday.

Tarantini has worked at Nelvana Studios in Toronto for many years and now teaches in the animation department at Sheridan College in Oakville.

The first 16-week session with Tarantini will explore the layout, backgrounds, storyboard and character design stages leading up to the creation of participants own short animated stories.

The first 16 weeks cost $300 and also entitles members to use of the studio at other times as well, without the user fee.

During the extra times, the studio's equipment will be available for use in the preparation and production of the animations.

The second 16-week session will follow, with participants then creating their short animation.

The workshops all take place in the Visual Arts Brampton studio.

The youth Saturday workshops are also now heading into their fourth week and there is still some space available.
