I am so excited to share with you my talented students' work, but first a quick note to let you know what we will be working on this month of April.
Circle Art! We can call it Round art, or Zen art, or Mandala art.....you call it what you wish but we are going to start out with Color Mixing and Theory. A whole class full of it. So that whatever we fill our circles with, the colors will sing together in the most beautiful harmonies.
Wk 2 I will introduce Neurographic art which is a deeply calming and therapeutic way to make art. Another approach I will share is how to construct and/or free draw a more classical mandala....adding similar art that mirrors itself around the quadrants of the circle. It's all yours to create as you wish. But all month we will be working in this shape, without blocked in corners like our usual squares and rectangles on paper or canvas as per usual.
Supplies: my recommendation is a wetter media such as watercolor or gouache, or if you prefer acrylics be ready to add medium to keep them nice and flowing. Ink would be great too.
Wk 3 and 4 - just create, create, and create some more.

This is called an Enzo, or Enso. It represents infinity and All of Everything.
I see it as a container and incubator for infinite creativity.
