SUMMARY:Meditative Art Mandalas Workshop (Register by 4/6)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Stacy Rausch\nDate/Time: Thursday\, April 11\, 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $20 Supply Fee\nClass size: 5-15 participants\n(Register by midnight on April 6) \nMandalas in progress by Stacy Rausch\nDrawing mandalas can be a type of therapeutic art form and can help well-being and reduce anxiety. The design is usually symmetrical\, radiating from the center of a circle\, which is what you will learn to do in this class. However\, I will also show examples of what else you can do with the basic shapes and structure of the mandala\, or “circle.” \nAfter showing you the basics of how to construct a mandala\, we will spend time going over the primary designs and shapes\, before jumping into drawing your own circular piece of art. \nEach student will receive a basic kit you will take home to continue your meditative art journey. \nNote: The art of the mandala has been around since the 4th century primarily in Tibet\, India\, Nepal\, China and Japan. Buddhists use the mandala as a spiritual and ritual symbol – often creating sand mandalas that are then destroyed in a ceremony. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
