Class ID: 117S Date/Time: Saturday, April 27, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM Tuition: $50 Member/$63 Non-Member Material fee: $1 payable to instructor for lesson plan (optional) Age/Level: Adults, Experienced Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Location: WBCA This is a unique offering, open to ages 12 and above, available to both the beginner and the seasoned professional, blending east and west in an artistic, responsive environment. All civilizations leave an imprint of their lives- figures on rock, stone, or paper. Children leave their fleeting fingerprints in the sand, or a pen stroke on paper. Feeling for oneself what it is to leave a trace with just a brush dipped in ink is an endlessly amazing experience. It tells us a little something about what the act of creation is all about. Sumi-e is the Asian word for “ink picture.” In sumi-e, the simplest of tools have been able to create outstanding beauty. Every sumi-e artist uses those traditional materials to create their work: sumi-e ink, bamboo brush, and Asian paper. In this class students will use those same materials and become more familiar with this ancient and relevant art form. The sobriety of the form, black and white combined with the skillful brushstroke, continues, after countless centuries, to provide an insight into the imperceptible, ever-changing richness of life. Sumi-e is an art form but also a philosophy and a feeling. It is touching the world around us with all of our senses and in turn, letting the world touch us before transforming that touch into the language of brush and ink. Sumi-e, like any art form, is about a sense of transitions, about transformations. * Visit www.WhiteBearArts.org for a supply list.

Drawing ••• Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Suzanne Starks Some people have always wanted to learn how to draw but have been scared because they lack an artistic background or believe one needs to have “inborn talent.” This unique class will put those fears to rest, using an acclaimed workbook with drawing exercises and accompanying short lessons that will teach how to draw using the right side of the brain, which is where non-verbal and creative abilities are concentrated. Drawing is simply copying what is seen – and learning how to “see” correctly in order to learn to draw better. The exercises are designed to help make the switch to the right side using tricks and techniques that have proven to be amazingly effective in teaching even complete novices how to draw. For students who already draw, this class will give greater confidence in their ability and deepen their artistic perception. This is a beginning course which covers 2 of the 5 basic perceptual skills of drawing: the perception of edges and the perception of spaces. Handouts outlining the material, a workbook tailored to the subject, and individual critiques will help everyone accomplish their goal of drawing better. Students will draw a “before” and “after” picture – and be astounded at the difference. Please register at least a week in advance for this class.

It can be used for creating wedding invitations, greeting cards, or addressing envelopes; it can be used to enhance arts and crafts projects such as nature printing, scrap booking, photography, personalizing picture frames, writing in hand-made books, or even enhancing fine art paintings. In this class students will learn the basic steps necessary to write the lower-case Italic hand. The basic steps to be learned in this class include: getting comfortable with the broad-edge pen; letter proportion; letter shape, slant, and stroke direction; the importance of spaces, and many other pertinent points in the art of calligraphy. Because these steps are the basis for any calligraphic hand, the students should leave the last class being able to analyze other ‘hands’ and also have a better understanding of the steps necessary to recreate them. Please bring a piece of 18 x 24” foam core. The instructor will discuss other supplies at the first class.
