It is a profound human instinct to want to re-create beauty- to hold it in our eye or heart a moment longer. In this class we will begin to explore drawing and writing as a way to reflect beauty. We will work with two dimensional pieces (different alphabets) and from three-dimensional objects as a starting place for exercises in form and expression.

The attention that this activity requires is a way of developing seeing and creating line quality in drawing and writing. We will make small portfolios of our work as a visual diary or record of ideas and inspiration. Writing tools, paper, poetry, materials for the portfolio and objects of beauty will be provided.

Date: July 10-14, 2006
Place: Red Deer College, Alberta, Canada
