Meditation Through the Senses

This multi-sensory experience combines music and artistic experimentation with water-based inks in an active meditation. Through music-guided meditation and a process of artistic discovery and play, participants are encouraged to access and reflect on their emotional experience and explore potential pathways toward healing.

Charcoal drawing

In this class, students learn about line, value, texture, and volume through the process of making charcoal figure drawings. From quick gesture drawings to more elaborate studies using directional light, we delve into the multi-faceted potential of burned wood, picking up skills and perspectives that advance abilities in drawing, painting, and spatial understanding.

color, Gouache, and the landscape

The classic designer’s medium of choice, gouache is fun, water-soluble paint that invites us to approach the landscape with pure color and bright, bold, matte opacity. In this class, students take on big landscapes at a small scale as we dip into color theory, create an emotional palette, and delight in the nuances of this special material.
