LLART 283 - Sumi-e

Sumi-e, the Asian word for "ink picture", is an art form as well as a philosophy and feeling. As we "touch" the world around us with all of our senses and in turn, let the world touch us, we can transform that experience into the language of brush and ink to produce outstanding beauty. Using traditional tools and materials - ink, bamboo brush and paper - create a work of art, while exploring the philosophy of Sumi-e through simple exercises and stories. Special fee covers all materials to be used in class, plus brush, ink and paper to take home.
