Drawing
was something you once took for granted and was done as easily as breathing.
It was a way of connecting yourself with the world, based on total trust
and a sense of no limitations. Problems could be solved because your
resources came from the infinite creative potential of the unconscious.
Westerners
have spent the majority of their lives in educational institutions and
later in corporate cultures, most of which emphasize intellectual achievements
at the expense of intuitive learning, These drawing workshops are for
those adults who still remember the joy and power of their early childhood
and wish to exercise and strengthen their intuition.
The
Workshops will consist of 1½ hours of studio drawing and one
hour of observation and discussion. During the studio time, a variety
of materials and subjects will be introduced and we will play! During
the discussion, we will closely examine the nature of the drawing process,
identifying and supporting each class member's individual style as it
begins to reveal itself.
Drawing workshops are not designed to teach technique/drawing styles. Each individual is supported in the journey to discover their own unique way of making marks. Workshops offer ways to approach drawing as a daily spiritual practice. Creativity is viewed as a metaphor for birth, life, death and rebirth. The studio is in a right and wrong free zone, where the conscious and unconscious intents are equally valued and it is the process not the product that holds our attention. Trusting in the process so that we can play is a wonderful way to live life.
The tuition is $250 and includes all materials and snacks will be provided. Work study slots available. If this workshop speaks to you , speak to me. Finances should not be the determining factor
