Chinese Ink on Canvas Workshop

Chinese Ink on Canvas Workshop

Calligraphy is Where Symbol and Gesture Meet

Please join AUSRAin the Dana L. Wiley Gallery on March 9, as she teaches her workshop on calligraphy using Chinese ink applied with a bamboo brush on a 12"x16" canvas. Explore spontaneous painting and unlock your creativity. We will practice brush techniques that depict rhythm, lines and abstract beauty.

The bamboo brush is our gift to you. Art supplies and a luncheon of Asian Cuisine are provided. 

Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese as guóhuà, meaning "national" or "native painting". Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black ink or colored pigments. 

Originally from Lithuania, AUSRAhas taught and studied art in Lithuania, France and Singapore and is currently living in the Dayton area. Presently, she has an artist studio at the Front Street Buildings in Dayton. 

AUSRA's art show and opening reception "Symphony of Lines From Singapore to Dayton"will open in the DANA L. WILEY GALLERY March 1 at 7 PM.
