After-School Art: The Elements of Art
Registration
Terry Havlis Drahos
Thursdays, May 8 – June 19, 2025
3:00pm – 4:30pm
Join us for a 6-week after-school art program designed for kids aged 8-10. If the Principles of Design are the recipe for making art, the Elements of Art are the tools. The elements include line, shape, colour, value, space, form, and texture. We will cover one element each week using painting, drawing, collaging, and other 2D mediums – culminating in a completed collection of artworks.
This workshop will take place over 6 sessions, held on Thursdays: May 8, 15, 22 and June 5, 12, 19, 2025
All Materials Provided
The mission of our School is to make instruction in the arts available to the public. We do want finances to obstruct that access, and if students are in need they can seek assistance in confidence by contacting our Operations Coordinator by email at learn@lunenburgarts.org or by phone at (902) 640-2013. Our School has access to a bursary fund for youth of 15 years of age and younger. Assistance is also available through Pro Kids Lunenburg though the Town of Lunenburg’s Recreation Department Manager, 902-634-4410 ext 234, mkiely@townoflunenburg.ca

Terry Havlis Drahos
Terry Havlis Drahos is a dynamic Nova Scotia–based visual artist, educator, and arts organizer. Originally from Chicago, Illinois, she earned a Bachelor of Design from Southern Illinois University in 1983 and a Bachelor of Education from Acadia University and NSCAD University in 2006, specializing in art and technology.
Her artistic practice spans a rich spectrum—from vivid paintings and layered photo transfers to compelling collage works. Her collages, often inspired by Surrealism and Dadaism, incorporate photographs, magazine clippings, and arranged imagery to explore subconscious themes and reflections on order and chaos.
Drahos is also the founder of Uncommon Common Art (2008–2019), a public art and education initiative she developed into a registered national charity—highlighting her passion for community engagement and arts education. Her professional versatility extends into organizational leadership: she has nearly four decades of experience in graphic and fine arts within both nonprofit and commercial sectors, offering expertise in budgeting, project logistics, community engagement, exhibition proposals, and art education programming.
Her work has featured in notable exhibitions—such as Trying to Make Sense at ARTSPLACE Gallery in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, and installations at the Ice House Gallery and Craig Gallery that explore memory, travel, environmental change, and rural narratives. Beyond exhibitions, her artwork is represented at Secord Gallery in Halifax.
