About
This workshop focuses on our engagement with nature as we aim to better understand our shared resources and psychological functions in the face of current times. As we work towards this ambition, participants are asked to pause and observe their surroundings, sensitizing themselves to the environment around them. They will be collecting materials, preferably natural or naturally derived, from their homes, gardens, alleys, worktables, etc. prior to the workshop. These materials will then be interwoven with techniques of art-making, some that have existed for over a thousand years, across various cultures and geographies. By adopting these simple methods, the workshop aims to bring to awareness some of nature’s core principles and our interconnectedness with them. We will be focusing on playing with elements, doodling with nature, and more. For each of these activities, relevant examples from history and artworks that use these techniques will be shared. Participants will then be given time for self-exploration. No prior experience in art-making required. This will be hosted on zoom and all are welcome.
This workshop is $25 with donations to artist greatly encouraged.
