[Im_faux_excited]

Yes, me too Jodi. All of it is fantastic.

Sure wish the states supported the arts in their tech high schools instead of just cooking, cosmetology, heating and air conditioning and the like. lol This would be such a wonderful addition to our system.

Thanks for sharing Vitali! Beautiful work, all of it.

Vitali - love the pictures! How can I sign up for a class?

[Vitali]

Hi Kathy,

Our school working under contracts - we accepting students under terms and conditions of specific programs of the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, IUPAT and some other... However, as I know, there are some really good schools and programs in US.
We do not charge students for classes, but providing them with tools, supplies and (mostly) with weekly $ support. As a result, impossible to accept students from outside the programs limits.
From time to time we still running our 4-week programs, which cost $6,150.00 CAD, but, since these programs are only certified (by Feds)programs in Canada, most of our students coming from waiting list and paid by government.
We are running our 1, 2, 3 day workshops, but under contract with IUPAT for members only.

Representational mural painting in general is more about transferring, not about painting. I'm not talking about spray-painted abstract murals, where you should be artist to sell, not to paint. BTW, in our school we are limiting ourselves to technical skills only, not artistry. Not suppressing creativity though....

[Eli Lucero]

Hmmmm, now all I have to do is figure out how to become a Canadian!
I am very very impressed from what you say and what I see at your school!
I did not know that there was such a place. You give me hope!

[KathyFakesIt]

Yes, I am totally impressed with what you've got going on there. THank you so much for answering my questions including my PM's!

Eli, if you weren't so happily married, you could marry a Canadian!

[Eli Lucero]

I have been out of town and seemingly out of touch, I just found this thread... all I can say is COWABUNGA!! How fortunate your students are to have such a program and such a place to be and learn.. I am loving all the pictures.

thank you for sharing!!

What a great kids program...We should be thinking about educating our youth more in this country....then our schools taking art away....Keep up the good work...HO
