Here are some of the must-do courses that are available:

Adults
Introduction to Creative Photography (4 weeks: $200 Members/$265 non-Members) allows students to be creative with their digital cameras while learning about exposure, shooting in challenging lighting situations and creating strong compositions.

AGO also offers drop-in classes for adults, including Yoga in the AGO Galleries and Life Drawing in the AGO.

Youth
Life Drawing (ages 13 to18; 8 weeks: $250 Members/$300 non-Members) is the perfect opportunity for teens to develop their drawing skills by observing human figures and utilizing various mediums.

Children
Cartooning (ages 8 to 13; 8 weeks: $315 Members/$375 non-Members) allows kids to use their imaginations and tell their stories with cartoons, using several different tools, including pencil, pen, markers and scratchboard. With the guidance of a professional cartoonist, children learn the art of drawing, storyboarding and character development.

Family Sundays are also a great way to spend time with the family doing something a little different, including Family Yoga for ages 3 and up.
