Description

Wabi Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that that honors and sees beauty in things that are worn, weathered, imperfect and impermanent. Painting with this in mind allows us to relinquish control and appreciate natural happenings—such as the magic of ink touching water, or the gestural marks we make without planning. This way of painting is a perfect segue from calligraphy to creating abstract art. Combining both Eastern and Western concepts of design, we will navigate Qi (vital energy) and empty space along side abstract art’s elements and principles of design—including line, texture, balance, emphasis, and contrast. We will also look at letterforms for inspiration and play with asemic writing to add detail to our work. Color and value and lots of fun tools and ideas will be explored with the aim of making several paintings and a Japanese stab bound book to hold your calligraphic expressions. All levels welcome. No painting or even calligraphy experience is needed.
