Course Description

Summary

This course explores mindfulness as both a practice and integral part of the art making process. Using drawing as a form of meditation, we will also look at artists and art movements that embrace meditation as a mark-making medium. Through in-class meditation, studio work, and discussion, students will be introduced to ideas and practical hands on techniques which will serve to enhance their mental focus and awaken creative spontaneity within their studio practice.
