<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The class was asked to paint something they saw during a walk through
downtown Waterloo we took the previous class. This was done from memory as
the use of photos was discouraged. This was done to encourage insightful
expression of an experience rather than copying a photo.
lower attendance fees to this painting class was made possible through a
grant from the Waterloo Regional Arts Fund and the cooperation of the
Waterloo Community Art Centre (The Button Factory).
