By Sarah Androsoff, Marketing Services ust steps away from Jeannette Sirois’house on Salt Spring Island is her art studio—her home away, but not too far from home.“Art is always on my mind; I can’t go a day without making art of some kind,”says Jeannette, an art instructor with Continuing Studies at UVic. Drawing botanicals and portraits using coloured pencils is Jeannette’s specialty. Coloured pencils are like her magic wand, giving her the power to perfect every wrinkle on a face or flower petal. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and both a certificate and master’s in art education. Collections of her work can be found across Canada, Europe, New Zealand, Australia and the United States. She has been a finalist twice for the Kingston Prize, an award that recognizes portraits by Canadian artists. In Jeannette’s portraits, she addresses the importance of mental health and represents diverse people and cultures. Since the beginning of 2020, Jeannette has been teaching art with Continuing Studies. “The staff are amazing and are always willing to listen and support me,” she confirms. She teaches observational drawing, a fundamental course for students of all skill levels. Seeing her students’ creativity blossom is a huge privilege for her. “I love seeing my students’ passion in art grow, and helping them improve their skills,” she adds. “Observational drawing is about looking at something like a running shoe or a spoon and understanding all the elements. You learn to break down subjects into easier shapes,”she explains. She demonstrates how to draw realistic compositions by creating value and form through shading techniques.“[Drawing] forces you to open your eyes and see everyday objects from a different perspective.” Teaching online was a positive change for Jeannette. “It is great to engage with students outside my community.”You may think an art class wouldn’t work online, but she easily adjusted art to an online format. “In each class, I give a drawing demonstration where students can choose to follow along,” Jeannette points out. Her online classes allow students to work in the comfort of their own home and to submit their classwork by sending Jeannette pictures. “All my students receive my feedback on their work through an in-depth video review,” she continues. “The majority of my students love the online format.” Showcasing art from diverse artists is very important to Jeannette. “Galleries and museums should display more art by women, the LGTBQ community and people of colour,” she suggests. Jeannette cares about viewing art from all over the world, by all kinds of artists. “It’s extremely important to me to learn about what artists are doing with their artwork.” Drawing empowers Jeannette to release her creative energy, but it also allows her to speak to issues of equality and discrimination that are close to her heart. She loves to teach others art, but she also loves to continue learning about art herself. For Jeannette, drawing is more than seeing everyday objects from a new perspective, but seeing our world differently too. This fall, Jeanette Sirois is teaching: Introduction to Portrait Artwork: Jeannette Sirois Drawing with Graphite, and Basic Observational Drawing with Graphite.

UVic’s Continuing Studies prove popular with seniors Popularity of online courses has increased since start of pandemic Some people would be intimidated by trying something new – especially in the midst of a pandemic – but that wasn’t the case for senior students at the University of Victoria’s Continuing Studies division, where a majority of students are over 55 years old. “When the pandemic hit, we had a lot of seniors taking online courses for the first time,” said Jo-Anne Clarke, dean of the Division of Continuing Studies. “What we found, interestingly enough, was that we have a huge appetite from people who found they really enjoy learning from their own home.” Read full article at: continuingstudies.uvic.ca/popular-with-seniors Watch for our new presenting series launching September 9, 2022 VOICES IN CIRCLE Amplifying Indigenous Cultural Voices JOSEPHINE SATURDAY A Burlesque Cabaret Dream Play OCT 15 Harris, in her one woman show, sings and tells 7:00 PM Josephine Baker’s life story to perfection, with not a note, vowel or pout out of step all night.

In 2021, Janis was appointed to the Order of Canada in recognition of her contributions to the performing arts and Since then, Janis has become a champion of lifelong learning Canada as a nation. and she encourages everyone to try it. “A lifelong learner has everything to do with curiosity,” she explains.

At this point in her career, Janis’ accomplishments were many, but she started to notice a new craving inside. She decided to feed her curiosity by going back to school.

At age 47, she took the Business Administration Fast Track program so she could improve her business acumen and apply it to her work as head of the CCPA. 24

The equilibrium at Continuing Studies was something she noticed instantly. She appreciated the positive atmosphere that motivated her to get past her fears and put in the work. “Never once did I have a teacher notice my age. Continuing Studies is open to everyone,” she says. “No matter your education or career journey, there is a place for you here.” Age really is just a number to Janis, and she firmly believes that taking classes later in life needs to be normalized. “No matter your age, learning helps you grow as a person. Whether you go into teaching, business, languages or photography, Continuing Studies is there for you to seek knowledge and achieve your goals at any time in your life.” she emphasizes. Janis is a living example that feeding your curiosity opens doors. “When you’re struggling, it’s hard to believe your dream profession is possible. You need to remember that nobody enters any profession from the same door,” she advises. “Get the learning, love the work and be fearless.” Janis Dunning, CM is a Continuing Studies alumna and was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2021. 25
