COS Winter 2017 Recreation Guide [WEB] FINAL

90 WINTER 2017   604.501.5100
Out of Sight: Eadweard Muybridge
& Harold Edgerton
Jan 21−Mar 19
Opening Reception: Saturday, Jan 21 | 7:30−9:30pm
The photographs of Muybridge and Edgerton were
revolutionary in their ability to make time stand still. From
stop-motion images of a galloping horse to a detailed
splash of milk, the scientific experiments of these two
photographic pioneers essentially freeze time to depict
the mechanical truth of movement. Brought together,
these bodies of work explore ideas about perception
and representation, challenging viewers to reconsider
what we see in our everyday encounters. Out of Sight is
organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery
with the generous support of the Killy Foundation.

Art Instructor PROFILES
Surrey Art Gallery invites you to learn
with instructors who are experienced art
educators and practicing artists. Here are
three of our winter instructors.
Nicoletta
Baumeister
Nicoletta began her love affair
with artmaking over thirty-five
years ago with her first art show
in her hometown of Kitimat,
BC. Since then, she has been
involved in many roles that
encompass a creative life,
and it is one of her greatest pleasures to share, show,
excite, and educate students in thinking about and doing
creative work. Nicoletta holds a fine arts diploma from
Langara College, a BFA from NSCAD, and a goldsmithing
specialization from Germany. This session, she will
be teaching watercolour classes for both tweens and
adults—see pages and
Ali Sepahi
Although his career was mostly
in the sciences, Ali Sepahi took
every opportunity to enhance
his artistic ability. After studying
painting under Iranian masters
in early childhood, as an adult
he attended art courses at
Oregon State University. Ali is
a member of the Federation of
Canadian Artists with six awards of excellence, and has
exhibited in group and solo shows. He has demonstrated
his techniques for art guilds, and has taught oil, acrylic,
and watercolour painting at community centres
throughout the Lower Mainland since 2000. This quarter,
Ali will be teaching Palette Knife Painting—see page .
Luc Charchuk
Luc Charchuk has been a
member of Larger Than Life
Drawing Group in Surrey since
1992 when he moved to BC from
Alberta. Luc studied at ACAD in
Calgary, where he received his
Fine Arts Painting and Drawing
Certificate. He achieved his
BFA in Art History and Classical
Literature Survey from the University of Alberta, and has
taught all levels of drawing and painting in Alberta and
BC. His focus is life drawing and oil painting, used to
incorporate human figure with landscape. This winter, Luc
will be teaching Drawing Techniques for tweens, as well
as Drawing for Absolute Beginners and Coloured Pencil
for Absolute Beginners for adults—see pages and
