Odyssey Conference Class Listing A21: VISION QUEST: A Calligraphic JourneyFor "practical" art techniques, the Gwen Diehn book is good, especially for beginners. Being more philosophically bent, I always encourage participants of all levels to read Free Play. - Sharon Zeugin B1772. Free Play by Nachmanovich. No More Second Hand Art. B2313. Art and Fear by D. Bayles, T. Orland. Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. B2638. Artist's Journals and Sketchbooks. The Decorated Page by Gwen Diehn. Out-of-print. B2910. The Decorated Journal by Gwen Diehn. B2729. Drawing from Life: The Journal as Art. The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon. B2119. Fearless Creating: by Eric Maisel. The Unknown Craftsman by Soetsu Yanagi. Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing, by F. Frank. Calligraphy of the Heart by Ewan Clayton. Out of print. B2871. The Creative Edge: Exercises to Celebrate your Creative Self by Mary Todd Beam. B3249. Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work. Nicolette Grey Lettering as Drawing. Out-of-print. Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Artist Within. Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing, by Frederick Franck. Letter Arts Review 12.4 for the article by Hans Joachim-Burgert. B2783. The Calligraphic Line by Hans-Joachim-Burgert. trans. by Brody Neuenschwander. Pen/Pencils/Brushes: Your usual calligraphy supplies; at least three unusual tools of vary¬ing sizes; small loading brush (BR37); Mitchell #6 nib (N04) – and other nibs sizes, and types, too! Mi¬cron (M17) pens or equivalent. I like 005 or 01 size; "Cola" pen (we will make one if you don't have one); several large brushes for acrylics (not precious ones); about 4-5 sponges for applying paint; several small good watercolor brushes--both flat and pointed if you have them. Ink/Paint: Sumi Ink–try Moon Palace (I70); 3 to 6 tubes of acrylic paint, I suggest double primaries plus white; gouache (WNGxxx); watercolors (WNxxx); gesso (S675 – S678). Paper: 3 full sheets of Arches Text Wove (PS01) we may need more, but Brenda will be there to keep us well-supplied! Misc: Picture(s) of something personally meaning¬ful; a color copy of a piece of art you love; water containers (S731); photocopies for photo transfer (use Xerox, not a laser printer); artist or masking tape; brayer (S587, S588) if you have one; linen or decorative thread (S351, S352, S353) for journal; X-acto knife (S621, S662); bone folder (S279, S308); 4 book-binding needles (S213, S218, S219); paper towels; anything else in your usual kit. Don't worry about buying special things for this class. If you have paper and ink and a few paints, you are good to go. You can bor¬row from me, and others are usually more than willing to share. Materials fee: $10
