It seems as though the economy and time constraints have caused all of us to hunker down and rethink things - speaking for myself this is true. Online classes keep coming in my path and while they are not the same as going and being present they are a wonderful alternative. I had been encouraging my dear friend LK to do one for some time now and lucky for me and many others she has. Be sure to check her out.
That being said I have been asked by many of you if I would consider an online class in lieu of a physical one. My first step would be to see how much interest I would have? So I am putting out the proposition....
If you are interested in either "online" class please contact me for the details at armfield@att.net
ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES
"All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man ...the
air shares its spirit with all the life it supports." Chief Seattle
Many
Native people believe that animals present themselves to us in the form
of guides and teachers. In this class we will journal about why certain
animals are prominent in our lives, what we can learn from them and how
we can express ourselves through our art using them as guides. The
techniques we will explore will include using b/w photographic images
along with paint, pen, pencil, color and poetry.
La Canzone del Mare ~ Song of the Sea
“You have heard the beat of the off-shore wind, And the thresh of the deep-sea rain; You have heard the song - how long?" Kipling
La Mare will be our muse in
creating a unique book filled with poetry, photographs, drawings,
paintings, and more. We will walk the shores for inspiration and to
capture images of deep beauty. This class will focus on the Sea and all
the wisdom she has to offer.
These will include such topics as~
Digital Photography - layout, settings, and design
Post Production editing - photoshop, iphoto
Sketching from photographs and objects
acrylic painting
