CREATIVITY AND PLAY

WINTER 2026

BRIDGE SUPERVISED. Play bridge like a pro. If you are learning bridge or want to practice or refresh your skills, you can enjoy the game in an informal social environment.  You either win, or you learn or you enjoy yourself, or all three!  We will compare results to see how different players bid and played each board.  Playing bridge is a life-long learning pleasure. This is not for beginners.

PAINTING WINTER SCENES. Instructor: Deanne Hall-Habeeb

In this session we’ll explore painting winter scenes. We’ll look at works by the Impressionists and other artists and see how the  colours of light and shadow play on the white of the snow.  Learning experiences will include painting trees with snow laden branches, setting up a composition, using perspective to create depth. We’ll be introduced to colour harmonies such as complementary and monochromatic. Step-by-step lesson plans will be sent each week. Media:  Acrylic or watercolour, acrylic markers. Supplies: brushes, watercolour paper and/or small canvases
