Learn the art of the iPad at Two Rivers

Many lucky Prince George residents may wake up to find an iPad under their tree at Christmas time.

Those who have joined the iPad revolution can now get together? with a group of like-minded enthusiasts for Two Rivers Gallery?s new class in iPad Art. This year British artist David Hockney impressed the world with an exhibition of his digital art produced exclusively on the iPhone and iPad.

New technologies continue to challenge ideas about how art can be produced and shared. Carolyn Holmes, public programs manager, is excited about the possibilities these digital sketchpads are capable of.

?iPads and similar digital platforms are often an entry point to creating for those who may be too unsure of themselves and their abilities to make art using traditional materials.?

Artist and new media educator Kim Stewart will introduce iPad users to traditional art-making media and their virtual counterparts.

Students will have a blast experimenting with the media tools, drawing directly from life using the touchscreen and participating in weekly digital art making challenges. No previous art experience is necessary.

?iPad art is a form of accessible self-expression for me,? says Stewart. ?It is as spontaneous and portable as I am. I use the iPad like a visual diary to record my creative thoughts and ideas as well as what I see in the world around me. It is the perfect tool for creative beginners and artists of life. Best of all there is no mess to clean up.?

Two Rivers Gallery is offering iPad art classes on Wednesday evenings from Jan. 25 to Feb. 29.

To sign up for this class or one of the gallery?s more traditional art classes, go to www.tworiversgallery.ca.
