is now on its 3rd year and offered by Gateway Gallery, the art
museum of Araneta Center. The museum is the latest go-to destination for
students and people alike especially with their interactive Philippine history
images on display.
The summer workshop will have
two courses namely the Drawing and Painting and the Craft Workshop which will
be under the supervision of professional artists and crafts people.
It will be available and open
to children and teens from 7 to 19 years old and will be held on the following
dates: April 29, May 6, 13, 20, and 27, from 2 to 5 pm at the Gateway Gallery.
The fee for each workshop is Php 6,000 and is inclusive of most of the
materials. An exhibit of the works of the kids and teens will follow the
culmination of the art workshops.
The Drawing and Painting Workshop is a beginners’ class where students
will be taught the basic principles of drawing. They will also be mentored on
the proper use of oil pastels and watercolor, and the techniques needed to
achieve a decent to excellent three dimensional rendering of forms. They will
also receive useful tips from the master artists who will be teaching them. The
teachers are Grandier Bella (drawing, oil pastel) and Julius Legaspi
(watercolor medium), exhibiting artists who are also experienced teachers.
The Craft Workshop will be facilitated by Karaw Craft Ventures, a
crafts house in Bicol that promotes sustainability and community livelihood.
The people of Karaw will teach the students on the discipline of creating
three-dimensional works such as paper cut, macramé dreamcatcher, plush toys,
string art and wood chip hook racks. All these beautiful crafts will engage the
students in a fun way and challenge their design skills. All the materials for
the Craft Workshop are included in the workshop fee.
