Arts & Creativity: Masks and Mandalas Workshop

Lesley University, Cambridge, MA June 10, 17, 24

This course explores creativity through two specific visual art mediums: masks and mandalas. Unique to traditional Tibetan visual art, mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning “world in harmony,” and is often used for meditation and healing. Designed for the beginning art enthusiast and educator who want to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the visual, students will explore the world of color, shape, line and form, and create a series of mandala drawings and 3-D masks.

Classes include supportive critiques of student work, as well as discussions of shared artistic concerns. Combining hands-on practice in studio art with study and analysis of the work of diverse artists, students will be encouraged to develop a clear philosophy and approach toward visual communication. Participants will be provided with a materials list.
