Workshop Information
Course Outline
This class explores a combination of free flowing botanical movements and geometric shapes. You will learn how to improve skills in drawing using pencil and fine tip pen on paper. We will also incorporate the compass and ruler to create a harmonious foundation for the tree of life. Your final design explores the art of Indian ink and white gauche, inspired by traditional Indian Folk Art.
The Tree of Life is a recurring motif in many arts. They contain deep symbolism, being embodiments of celestial and vital energies. The stylisations are many and specific to each craft. Some ancient Indian texts look at creation itself as a tree. But even without the complex layers of symbolism, it is always heartening to see this motif. The tree, whatever else it is, is a giver of life. A beautiful thing to be celebrated and give gratitude for.
This workshop will be led by Stephanie June Ellis. Stephanie is a travelling professional artist, author and founder of The Art Of Process School.
Through her workshops and retreats she engages with global communities offering wellbeing through the creative process with a focus on Sacred Geometry.
Primarily working with pen and ink on paper, her creative practice centres around geometric & biomorphic movements which aim to transcend viewers beyond the physical world and encourage a wider vision of awareness through universal patterns.
