We will learn basic technique and composition of traditional Japanese sumi-e painting. Sumi-ed is a style of black-and-white calligraphic ink painting that originated in China and eventually was introduced into Japan by Zen monks around 1333. We will concentrate on the four basic compositions of sumi-e, bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid, and plum blossom. We will also study the works of the more famous schools, such as Kano. Students will create a portfolio of class exercises and their own creative pieces . Class is limited to 10 students. Additional fee: $40.
