arts, you will benefit professionally and personally from your time
spent in pursuit of this certificate. Julie McIntyre is the on-site

Toronto, Ontario (www.isis-canada.org). ISIS-Canada is a
certificate-granting training institute in intermodal expressive arts therapy. Students who graduate from ISISCanada can apply their credits towards an MA degree
in Expressive Arts Therapy at the European Graduate
School in Switzerland (www.egsuniversity.ch).

Interdisciplinary Studies:
• credit for 100 studio hours in the ISIS program
• the distinction of “Arts Specialization” on their
ISIS certificate
Working Together
This course provides an introduction to the practice and theory
of Sandtray-Worldplay Therapy and the application of journalling
within Expressive Arts. These modalities give voice to the internal
and external worlds of both children and adults. They are tools
with which to explore, for example, issues of loss, abuse, and
self-esteem and that can provide new perspectives on life experiences. Learning will be facilitated through the use of didactic,
demonstrated and experimental methods. In the sandtray portion,
all participants will build sandtrays as well as observe others,
with ample opportunity for questions, discussion and feedback.
Emerging from the sandtray section, you will gently move into
journaling using various creative techniques of exploring the
inner and outer worlds through writing, poetry, movement and art
making. Learn to weave these modalities through each other to
give them greater form and personal meaning. You are encouraged to bring any poems that are meaningful to you. This course
will be of interest to professionals working with children and
adults in educational, health, recreation or therapeutic settings.
There will be a $15 material fee payable to the instructor.
The M or E beside the course name indicates whether the course
is Mandatory or Elective toward the Expressive Arts Certificate.
These courses do not count towards
Fleming’s Visual and Creative Arts Diploma (VCAD).
Please note: Successful completion of Introduction to Expressive
Arts (formerly Introduction to Expressive Arts Therapies) is recommended prior to taking this course.
In this course you will explore various types of therapeutic
relationships, as well as several important aspects of therapeutic
relations in general. It will include experiential, demonstrated, and
didactic learning methods. There will be ample opportunity for
practice, discussion and feedback using role playing of the client,
the expressive therapist, and the witness/observer. Some of these
opportunities will occur in pairs, some in small groups, others in
the full group. There will be an attempt to use the ‘here and now’
experiences of the class/group member to highlight the important
factors of therapeutic relationships. There will be a $15 material
fee payable to the instructor.

SoundWork: Designing and facilitating sonic rituals. Whether
we are creating a ceremony of celebration or a ritual to grieve a
loss, SoundWork enables participants to drop out of the topside
world of words in order to engage the images, feelings, and
themes of the inner life. Sonic rituals can be jubilant or heartfelt,
but are always in-depth. BodyPlay: Integrative movement with
drawing and journalling. We will use breath and structured
improvisational dance to explore the different facets of our inner
worlds of images, emotions, sensations and impulses. As we
move between modalities suitable applications and populations
will be discussed. There will be a $15 material fee payable to the
instructor.

This course provides an opportunity to interact with graduates of
Expressive Arts Ontario College Graduate Certificate Program and
to explore some of the ways they have incorporated their training
into work with others. Labyrinths and mandalas are ancient and
powerful tools to centre, strengthen, and help us move out into
the world. They have also been used for contemplation, ritual,

The art of encaustic painting was practiced by Ancient Greeks,
Romans and Egyptians as many as 2500 years ago and is still
practised today. The term encaustic denotes the use of wax as
an artistic medium. The combination of pigment, beeswax and
varnishes creates beautifully luminous paintings. Once a lost art,
it is gaining more and more popularity and recognition. Many
contemporary artists are exploring the versatility of the medium
and applying the techniques to a wide variety of artistic genres:
landscape, abstraction, collage and printmaking to name a few.
As a newcomer to the medium you will learn basic techniques
and formulae as well as how to prepare your own supports. The
course includes a brief history of encaustic and frequent class
discussions. Skills and techniques acquired in this course will
enable you to apply encaustic techniques to your own personal
painting style. Safety procedures will be emphasized at all times.
There will be a $100 material fee payable to the instructor.

Watercolour Basics & Beyond
Screen monoprinting is an innovative and painterly printmaking
technique. Brilliant fabric dyes are painted onto a silk screen
using a wide variety of brushes, sponges and tools. A squeegee
is then used to pull clear medium over the screen, releasing
the painting onto the paper. The colours and unique surface
textures are spectacular and cannot be achieved through painting
directly on paper. This extremely versatile, fun and non-toxic
technique forces a fresh and free manner of painting. The most
satisfying prints will be created letting the unexpected happen
and releasing the need to control. Those previously concerned
with the technical aspect of printmaking will be amazed at
the multi- coloured prints created with such simplicity. Playful
experimentation with abstraction rather than detailed realism
works extremely well with this spontaneous and fluid technique.
The surprise element of screen monoprinting will thrill and delight
both the painter and printmaker. To add another dimension and
complexity to the painterly screen prints, you will create relief
prints using butter soft carving material Softolium. The strong
linear lines of the relief prints juxtapose beautifully with the more
ethereal monoprints. More layering opportunities are created
through the use of paper stencils, collage and stamps. Create
collographs, reduction prints and monotypes if you choose more
playful experimentation. This course is a good starting point for
those beginning their artistic journey, yet challenging to seasoned
artists. There will be a $75 material fee payable to the instructor.

Please note: This course is not suitable for beginners. It is an
intermediate/advanced level art class for which previous drawing
and painting experience is required.
This course was influenced by the American artist/teacher Jim
Dine, and offers a unique, in-depth exploration of one model and
one work surface. The discipline of examining one subject over a
sustained period enhances an understanding of the exterior and
prods the imagination to reveal interior possibilities. In response
to observations, you are guided in the methods of mixing media –
combining and juxtaposing in sequence: dry, water based, acrylic
and/or oil materials. You will work to build up your graphic and/or
paint surface, then work at reduction and simplification. Weather
permitting you will be working outdoors with a model at the
beginning of the course. Emphasis is placed upon work process
and the evaluation of the image. Special attention is directed
toward finding and losing definition, developing sensitivity to
marks, varying edges, building up surface, challenging your
visual memory, and developing a personal touch. At the end of
each day the image can be toned down by scraping or applying a
semi-transparent wash, muting the day’s accumulated detail. The
course is accompanied by slide presentations with commentaries
as well as individual and group constructive critical discussions.
To help the instructor intuit individual technical needs and help
you advance your personal work process, examples of successful
and unsuccessful works (unframed, photo or slides) should be
brought to the first class.

Developing concepts and how to do things with things.
Starting a creative process is sometimes a battle – a battle against
yourself, material, time and circumstances. Discuss what some
artists have written and said about their ways of finding inspiration and how they manage to get into a creative process: How
did John Lennon start to write a song? How did Charlie Chaplin
start to write a scene? How do contemporary European artists
like Tobias Rehberger work? Start with an old maxim on how to
get into things, namely: The beginning is not in front of you – it
is already done. Set about remembering, giving old ideas new
space, discovering new material and new surroundings. Begin
by going out for a walk and collecting whatever catches your eye.
This will be your point of departure and where your creative work
begins. Explore how to approach and relate to your treasures.
Through experiments and various short exercises, work out
strategies and methods of developing concepts. The aim is to
spark a process of creative production and to present completed
projects. What you create is up to you. It could be an installation,
collage, illustration, jewellery, a film shot with your i-phone, photo,
painting, a story – anything. Most important is an open-minded
approach to the question of how to develop a creative process.

– Basic Level I, or the ability to set up a loom and weave with
minimal direction is required.
This course introduces basic 4 harness weaves such as twills,
herringbones, and texture weaves – the base almost all weaving
is built on. Weave a patchwork sampler (to become a runner
or made into throw cushions) that uses varied threadings and
treadlings to create remarkably different weaves, and that will
become a valuable reference for future weaving. From this
you’ll design a second project of your choice using one or more
weaves for a small project (e.g. scarf, runner) to be completed
during the course, or weave a detailed sample for a larger project
to complete on your own (jacket fabric, blanket, upholstery, or
other.) Being hands-on, with instruction geared to individual
abilities and interests, this course is a great way to expand your
treadling dexterity and familiarity with weaves. A half day loom
maintenance and tuning-up session is included to help you
understand how looms work and how to have them work well for
you. Materials to weave the sampler will be available for purchase
from the instructor but if you have cottons, wools, or other yarns
that you would like to use for your second project please bring
them. You may bring your own 4 harness floor loom, or use one
of the school’s. There will be a $50 material fee payable to the
instructor.
Discover warp-faced weaves – where the warp threads are
woven so close together that the weft is hidden. Creative use of
colours produces a multitude of designs and colour in warpfaced weaving, making it exciting to design distinctive and bold
patterns. Instructional and project focus is on sashes, straps
and bands – useful for everything from guitar straps to trim on
clothing to bell pulls – but the technique can also be used for
rugs, runners, and other projects. Any fibre can be used, but
cotton and wool are most common. Learn the attributes and
tricks of the trade of warp-faced weaving in both plain weave and
twill. This is a round robin course, where you design and set up
a warp long enough to weave a band for yourself plus extra for
others to weave a sample as well. You will learn how to sett your
warp, how to design your own patterns, how to flip a warp-faced
pattern and weave it weft-faced, and how to twist fringes. For
those who wish, a session on loom maintenance will be given to
help understand how to maintain, repair, and keep your own loom
in optimum running condition. You may bring your own 4-harness
floor loom, or use one of the school’s. There will be a $10 material
fee payable to the instructor.

Rock balancing is becoming
established as a category of
creative activity, like music,
painting or sculpture. Motives
vary from an activity as meditation, art, recreation, exercise,
occupation or as creative play
or exhibitionism. Through
demonstration, visual aids and
practical hands-on techniques
you will learn to manually and visually recognize possibilities
of balance. Discover that it requires sensitivity, poise, physical
coordination and concentration with a steady hand and patience.
Rock balancing is an act of recognizing the smallest features on
the surface of a stone: its shapes, angles, degrees of smoothness
or roughness, flats and indentations. It is a visual and tactile
labour, the marrying of stone surfaces into connection with each
other in order to pursue new structures and shapes. Gain insight
into how to match, marry and balance rocks of varying sizes to
create sculptures of magic and mystery. Balance is a hidden
quality, both in nature and in life. It is a quality often found only
through reflection and exploration. Creating ephemeral configurations of stone as they defy gravity is a totally engaging act.

Please note: All levels of experience and skill are welcome. Yoga
and/or writing experience is not required.
As practices, yoga and writing offer opportunities and tools
to explore inner experience. Crossovers of opening the body,
opening the mind, allowing energy to flow through the limbs
and through the hand, will be gently guided and supported.
Instruction will include alternating yoga and writing sessions. Yoga
will begin with a gentle flow class, a practice designed to open
and stimulate the mind and body, and conclude with a calming
restorative session to assist in assimilating the range of experiences. The practices will be presented to enable you to work at
your own level and pace. With a variety of prompts as catalysts for
writing sessions of different lengths, you will begin to move into a
flow of images and recollections that can begin to tap reservoirs
within the body and memory. The aim is not ‘good’ writing, but
an engaged process and experience of flow, sensation, and the
fresh, unfiltered expression of insight and experience. Write,

One of the best ways to make the past come alive is through the
telling of stories. This is true of family and personal stories as
well as community histories. Facts, dates, artefacts and locations
only become captivating when the people, events and actual
happenings are woven into the tale. Since we usually don’t have
a record of what people said or what they were thinking it takes
some creative work to bring these stories to life. Discover how to
use bits and pieces from the past and, with some research and
imagination, turn them into compelling stories. Sometimes these
stories are best told in the first person and other times in the third

Please note: This course is not suitable for beginners. A good
working familiarity with your camera’s menu and function settings
is required. Prior to registering please refer to the material list
regarding equipment requirements and suitability.
Being an artist isn’t just about creativity; it’s also about possessing
the technical know-how to express it. As a photographer, that
means understanding more than just what your basic camera
settings do. Photography is an inherently technical medium –
especially digital. Go beyond the simple considerations of depthof-field, low-light, or action shooting to gain an intimate familiarity
with the technical capabilities and limitations of the medium, your
equipment, and various modes of expression (so you may then
proceed to forget about it and get on with taking great photos).
Whether you shoot landscapes, people, abstracts, or kittens, learn
how the technical choices you make will affect your art and help
you to develop a critical eye, making you a better photographer.
Instruction will consist of a combination of theory, practice, and
evaluation on various principles and techniques. Post-processing
of your photos is not included. Emphasis will be on better
in-camera results. Principles taught in this course apply equally
to shooting film but film cameras will not be suitable in class
because instant feedback is required for evaluation. Instruction is
suitable for intermediate-to-advanced photographers.
Explore a three-dimensional approach to printmaking. By deeply
embossing thick printmaking paper you will achieve elegant white
on white prints that, like marble sculptures, use existing light
to manifest multiple dimensions within an image. Combine the
embossing with watercolour monoprinting to create compelling
contrasts of saturated colour with the simple and beautiful design
elements of the pure white emboss. You do not need to have
any previous watercolour or printmaking experience to achieve
numerous unusual and uniquely beautiful prints. There will be a
$25 material fee payable to the instructor.

If you hear cheering in the halls, it’s the students

You write something. Now, what does that piece of writing do?
What experience do you create for your reader? Where are you
taking your reader and what does your reader see, hear, and
know by your story? What patterns are showing up in your work?
What are you avoiding? What is it that makes a passage or story
resonate with a reader long after the story is over? Learn how to
listen to your work. Like the master mechanic who, upon hearing
the revs and sputters of an engine, can say what’s working and
what needs work inside a car, you will develop your ear for the
resonance and voice in your own craft. To listen to your work in
this way is a discipline that, like any other skill, can be developed.
Participants will listen to each other’s work, read the work of
great writers, and begin all work with two questions: What does
this story do? and, How did this writer make the story do that? All
honing, revision, refinement, editing, amplification and development of both story and character flows from this.

Non-toxic contemporary printmaking is often the method of
choice for visual artists of all kinds who want to explore imagemaking in a related series of works. This approach uses waterwashable, soy-based inks with brushes and brayers, masked
and collaged elements, line and colour added by hand, multiple
glazes and variations in viscosity. A new work can be derived
from the ‘ghost’ of the previous one, or started from scratch every
time. Akua inks are beautifully intense and transparent, as well as
slow-drying, allowing for experimentation without time pressure
and without the use of solvents. Clean-up is done simply, with
soap and water. There will be a $30 material fee payable to the

Have you ever wished you could spend several days just focusing
on increasing your throwing skills? Do you feel that you have
‘hit the wall’ in terms of being able to throw… more efficiently,
bigger pieces, more consistently, looser pots, tighter pots? This
course will encourage and challenge you to learn new throwing
techniques, increase your throwing skills, and practice, practice, practice. Throwing is a physical skill. It requires proper
technique, good tools, and proper care of your body. Through a
series of demonstrations, specific exercises, class discussions,
inspirational videos, and lots of wheel time, you will have the
opportunity to increase your throwing skill as well as develop a
personal practice of pot-making. A pug-mill will be available to
make reclaiming clay as easy as possible. It is not the intent of

Screen monoprinting is an innovative and painterly printmaking
technique. Brilliant fabric dyes are painted onto a silk screen
using a wide variety of brushes, sponges and tools. A squeegee
is then used to pull clear medium over the screen releasing the
painting onto the paper. The colours and unique surface textures
are spectacular and cannot be achieved through painting directly
on paper. This extremely versatile, fun and non-toxic technique
forces students to paint in a fresh and free manner. The most
satisfying prints will be created letting the unexpected happen
and releasing the need to control. Those previously concerned
with the technical aspect of printmaking will be amazed at
the multi-coloured prints created with such simplicity. Playful
experimentation with abstraction rather than detailed realism
works extremely well with this spontaneous and fluid technique.
The surprise element of screen monoprinting will thrill and delight
both the painter and printmaker. To add another dimension and
complexity to the painterly screen prints, you will create relief
prints using butter soft carving material Softolium. The strong
linear lines of the relief prints juxtapose beautifully with the more
ethereal mono prints. More layering opportunities are created
through the use of paper stencils, collage and stamps. You will
also create collographs, reduction prints and monotypes if you
choose more playful experimentation with printmaking. This
course is a good starting point for those beginning their artistic
journey, yet challenging to seasoned artists. There will be a $75
material fee payable to the instructor.

Please note: It is important to be prepared to spend long periods
of time outdoors in a variety of weather conditions.
Haliburton School of The Arts is pleased to be returning to
Bark Lake to take advantage of the beautiful and inspirational
surroundings. The facility offers an opportunity for creative
immersion as students are able to stay, dine and learn on-site.
Part creation, part meditation, land art is a movement that
emerged in the late 1960s and was understood as a protest
against the perceived artificiality and commercialization of art.
Land artists reject the museum as the only setting for artistic
activity and embrace natural materials and settings. Sculptural
works are not simply placed in the landscape; rather the
landscape is the very means of their creation, meaning that the
landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked. Using
natural materials placed in intriguing natural settings, explore
the many different creative possibilities of interacting with the
landscape. Explore a range of intriguing environments in which
to create work: sandy beaches, rocky outcropping, forests and
wetlands.
Accommodation arrangements can be made directly with
Bark Lake. Information can be referenced in the welcome
letter linked to the course at www.hsta.ca. Contact Adam
Mannella at 1-888-517-9999 ext. 238 (705-447-2447) or

interest in contemporary plein air painters like Matt Smith, David
Curtis, Trevor Chamberlain, Kevin MacPherson and Richard
Schmid. John’s work is a blend of many of these painters’, along
with his own interpretation of light and colour. His work focuses
on strong compositions filled with the mood of the moment.

Philip Davis has been fascinated by musical instruments for a
very long time. Early attempts at building an instrument of any
kind were note-worthily bad. Probably because of this, he took it

and later Frankfurt, Germany to ‘get it right’. Philip now sees
instrument making as more of a personal exploration but can
cover a wide range of techniques and strategies for finding the
right personal musical goal. As a maker, he is represented by
instruments and bows across Canada, the US, England, and
Germany. He has maintained a professional practice of building
and restoring since 1985 and has taught musical instrument
construction since 1980 at OCAD University and since 1997 at
the Haliburton School of The Arts.
Carlos del Junco is one of those players whose music is so
advanced that when it comes to awards, it’s either retire the
category or rephrase the question to “Best Harmonica Player Not
Named Carlos”. This includes two Gold Medals from the Hohner
World Harmonica Championship in Trossingen, Germany, as well
as multiple national awards. To say he plays the harmonica is
like saying “Jimi Hendrix plays guitar”. He blows the blues harp
through a prism – suddenly it seems he’s holding every colour
in the musical rainbow right there in his hands. Carlos has been
touring in Canada, the US and Europe for the last 15 years and
has also taught extensively, both privately and small workshops.
This will be a unique opportunity to learn from one of the world’s

The Bone Yard
with Anna Gaby Trotz
During David Suzuki’s “Legacy Lecture Series” Anna asked
him what he thought the role of art was in terms of how we can
change our environment. He replied, “Art can be an anthem.”
She has spent the last decade travelling through the Northern
landscape of Canada searching for images that might add to this
anthem. Her show, “The Bone Yard,” examines the landscape
that is literally melting and changing before our eyes. As a
landscape artist Anna looks for images that can subtly subvert the
viewer’s awareness of our environment.

Adventures of an Artist
with Rod Prouse
The great outdoors is the stage upon which a visual artist
performs. Canadian art history is rich with wilderness wanderings
and braved elements. Meaningful musings, crashing waves,
heightened senses, and howling winds are just some of the
opportunities and challenges that propel painters to develop their
voice. This glimpse into Rod’s journeys, both literal and artistic,
will showcase some of his adventures and their impact on his
growth as an artist. There are bats involved.
“Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing
one’s sensations.” – Paul Cezanne

Talking Trash: How Do We Relate
to the Things We Get Rid Of?
with Jp King
Drawing on two years of extensive field research, travel, and
interdisciplinary graduate studies concerning the themes of
discard, disposability, and dispossession, Jp King will tell his
story about what it means to live in an era of excess, abundance,
and accumulation. Motivated by asking how we relate to the
things that we get rid of, the artist will reveal his own personal
transformation from compulsive hoarder to minimalist, and share
his methodologically diverse range of investigations, which dig at
the fringes of culture to examine objects no longer loved, wanted,
or needed. Embarking on a photographic mission to document
the cumulative residue of consumer behaviour and how it is
managed by man and machine, King will take the audience on a
visual journey through a flea-market in New Jersey, the practices
of street-scavengers in Shanghai, and behind the closed doors
of Toronto’s municipal waste management systems. Conducting
a transdisciplinary archeology of fields like psychology, ethics,
history, mysticism, and post-humanist ontologies, the artist
portrays these micro-practices as a fragment of the global effort
to understand and manage the material overflow of human need
and desire.
Art Talks
4:45 to 6:00pm • Wednesdays from July 1 to August 5
Art Talks are held in the Great Hall of Fleming Campus.

The Never-ending Flux of Art:
From Modernism to Postmodernism
to the Contemporary
with Andy Fabo
Several decades of the 20th century passed before a larger public
realized that “modern,” a quite useful synonym of “current,”
had been usurped by art and design professionals to describe
the works from a particular period of art and design reflecting
various linking characteristics. Similarly, the term postmodernism
appeared in the sixties and seventies to describe certain reactive
(to modernism) tendencies in architecture and art but took two
decades to enter the conversation of a broader public. Now,
according to some important art historians and theorists, the
word “contemporary” is being periodized – that is to say, the
word is being used to identify certain aesthetics, conditions,
and presentational strategies in the art world of today. Which
may bring about the somewhat absurd situation that it will,
like modernism, eventually be used to describe a movement
of the past! This presentation will explore the complexities and
contradictions that come from the seeming necessity of labeling
and characterizing art movements and periods for the sake of
the art historical discourse. Relying on both external references
(art historical and contemporary work of significant Canadian and
international artists) and internal references (his own practices
as an artist, critic and curator), Andy will reflect views of the
tremendous ongoing flux and attempt to provide a glimpse of a
possible future for art.
PLEASE WELCOME
TO THE STAGE
Join us in the Great Hall from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.
