Experiments in East Asian Brush Painting/Sumi-e
An Exploratory Workshop with Edith A. Tonelli, MFA, Ph.D. Come play with us! This workshop will be an introduction to East Asian Brush Painting as well as an opportunity for those familiar with this technique to experiment! We will review philosophy, theory, process, and painting basics, as well as offering tips and examples of ways to manipulate these materials to create both traditional and non-traditional images. The "Four Treasures" and "Four Nobles" will be explored. As all who have experimented with Asian forms know, keeping a "beginner's mind" is essential to true expression - so let's begin! Basic materials will be provided by the instructor, but participants are encouraged to bring whatever they would like for experimenting with the process. Edith A. "Deede" Tonelli, is a Cape Cod artist, art therapist, and museum director who has studied East Asian Brush Painting in China, and this year is exhibiting in the Annual National Exhibition of the Sumi-e Society of America in Washington, D.C. She also will have a concurrent exhibition in the Board Room at the Cultural Center, and will use some of her own work as examples. Visit TonelliArts.com for more information.$65/$50 for members. Workshop limit is 12. To register, call 508-394-7100. Cultural Center of Cape Cod, 307 Old Main St., South Yarmouth. www.cultural-center.org
