OSHER 705 - Korean Color Ink Painting "Brush to Rice Paper"

This course will help members learn more about beautiful East Asian art, celebrate the diversity of life, and practice mental calmness, while learning a variety of brush strokes. Class members will cultivate the joy of creativity, new methods of painting with colored ink, and radical constraint, but the brush work remains, in the heart as a metaphor and symbol of things. No previous experience is necessary. Instructions will be given step by step to develop an understanding of ink contrast, color blending, and composition. Members will be able to paint in the East Asian styles: Pine Tree, Rose, and Magnolia. Current University of Utah policy requiring mask wearing and social distancing will be followed.
