Fall is a time of revelation. The greens fade from the trees and their true, brilliant colors are shown. What vibrancy! What joy! What truth is waiting to be revealed through you? Come discover during this playful and colorful class!
In this session to be held at ArtPlay in the River Arts District in Asheville, NC, join Julie King Murphy, M.A.,* and Jo Anna Dane, M.A.,* who will guide you through an exploration of leaves, light and our own creative responses that will help you discover the brilliance within that is waiting to be revealed.
Throughout this class you will be invited to explore the color, texture and shape of the autumn leaves. We’ll begin by crafting a group mandala to help us see the treasures within the leaves, colors and patterns. We will then transition to ArtPlay’s new Light Atelier to view the mandala and details within, larger than life on the wall through the beautiful element of light!
Using words and the potent imagery from the mandala & light experience, each participant will also be guided to explore and create an individual painting using acrylic paints.
No experience is necessary. The painting that you create can be realistic or beautifully abstract. You’re also sure to find something new emerging in yourself, a resource ready to harvest, employ and savor this season!
We are excited to be able to offer this incredible class with Julie and Jo Anna at ArtPlay!
