Art Class for Adults - Hand-Coloured Photographs

Hand-colouring is as old as photography itself. In the 19th century, colour tinting was applied to early black and white prints to make them more closely resemble reality. It was the advent of colour films in the 1950s that took photographic hand-colouring techniques into the realm of interpretive artistic expression, which is where it lives today. Discover the history of the medium through the Royal BC Museum's collection and then have the opportunity to create our own unique works of photographic art using black and white images from the museum's WWI and WWII era. 

These classes are designed for students aged 16 years and older.
