SUMMARY:Composition Art Demo
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder how a creator can jump from photography to painting to printmaking\, or textile design to collage\, without skipping a beat? Well\, the truth is it’s all about one of the foundational building blocks we use: Composition… and it’s one of the best things to just play with\, too! \nJoin multi-disciplinary artist Jamie Ashton\, Founder of Unknown Studio and President of the Nanaimo Arts Council\, to explore this creative principle in a fun\, hands-on\, all-ages demo. No prior art experience required. You will be guided through a facilitated session and have the opportunity to try out different layouts using simple\, colorful paper pieces and shapes. The best part? You’ll get to glue down your favourite design to create a mini-masterpiece to take home. Here are all the details—we hope to see you there! \nWhen: Drop-in anytime between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM\nDuration: Each interactive round lasts around 25 minutes. Join for one or stay for a few.\nWho: Kids\, adults\, and everyone in between is welcome!\nHow much: Free!

SUMMARY:Collage Club
DESCRIPTION:Collage Club is a free creative gathering of anyone who is interested in making art and meeting other creatives. The focus is on collage because it is a low barrier and accessible way for everyone to get creative – but any creative project is welcome. This meetup will have a project for you to get started with if you’re feeling stuck or want to learn. The main goal is to meet and build our community and create a safe space to express being a human. Looking forward to having you join us at this event!
