Earth, Water, Air and FirePainting the Elements
In this class we will use the Hauschka Therapeutic Painting Technique to paint each of the elements, and explore them as a metaphor of the temperaments within us. This method of painting is a gentle introduction to the creative process, and invites us to open to our unconscious, and through the process, to allow an image to emerge. The time spent with these pure colors and liquids is soothing to the body and soul. No prior experience is necessary.

Three students are required for a class, so gather a few friends and create a one-day workshop or series of classes on one of the topics below:
Wet on Wet watercolor
A gentle introduction to the creative process based on Margrethe Hauschka's Therapeutic Painting Technique. The time spent with these pure colors and liquids is rejuvenating to the body and soul as you use this watercolor process to access the well of creativity within you. No prior experience is necessary as you let your painting evolve from your unconscious and record your journey to the dream world and back again.
Wholistic Arts
Students use non-verbal or symbolic language to access the unconscious and immerse themselves in the flow of the creative process. The class combines work with color, mandalas, automatic drawing, meditations, illuminations and collage that allow the participant to look in a "different way" from their habitual way of looking at the world.
Foundations of Drawing
Artist's are "See-ers". They literally "see" the world around them with more focus then the rest of us. Yet, all of us have the ability to be see-ers. The most basic path to seeing is learning to draw. To learn how to draw we must first learn to look without preconceptions. We will practice this "Artist's way" of looking and techniques that have been used by artists over the centuries. We will also work with methods of drawing to express our inner feelings. This class is geared towards beginners, but is suitable for those who wish to refresh their drawing skills, or just need a class or assignment to get them going.
Drawing With Light
.A Beginning Photography Class
Creative photography moves beyond just taking photos, into the realm of "making" photographs. As we learn to understand how the camera works, we can be more actively involved in the decision making process as we create and "draw" with light on the film.
Hand-Painting Your Black & White Photos
Learn the time- honored art of hand oil painting your own black and white photos. Turn them into a work of art as well as creating your own heirloom.
