Mandala Art

Marvelous mandalas!

Saturday Jan. 21st, Multi-Medium Art Workshop: 10:15 a.m. ‘til 11:45 a.m. – Mandala Art (watercolours and marker): This is a repeat class by request. One little student of mine did this last year with me, but gave his mandala away as a gift. Although at first he felt good in giving away his beautiful piece, he also struggled afterward – sort of wishing he’d kept it. So I said “we’ll do the workshop again!” And why not? I love doing mandalas with little people. Children really create such stunning designs!

A great compliment to the class is the story ‘The Dot’ By Peter H. Reynolds. It’s the perfect book to inspire a discussion about dots and circles and the art of creating mandalas. We’ll watercolour paint our circles first, and then later doodle with pen and ink to add detail to the mandala. Looking forward to another fantastic mandala making workshop!

*Please note: Weekend Drop-in/Drop-offs alternate between Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Multi-Medium Art Workshop (4 yrs +) 10:15 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.

See you there! We would greatly appreciate it if you could call or email us if you intend to come to one of our drop-ins. It helps with prep when we have an idea of the number of kids participating. Thanks!

Mandala Magic

Ever since taking a mindfulness meditation course in the spring I’ve been on a mandala kick (trying to do at least 1 a week). And one of my all time fave art workshops with Centre for Art & Soul is this mandala workshop. So when my son’s friend asked if I’d do some watercolour art with her, I suggested doing a mandala. We did rings in watercolour and when it dried, we used fine tipped markers to create our designs – starting from the centre – working outward… There is just something inexplicably pretty about children’s mandala art. A light breeze, giggles, fresh strawberries and watercolour paints – that’s what inspired the mandalas on this sunny summer day!

Circles are meditative…

Sunday Feb. 27th Mixed Media Art For Kids Workshop: 10:15 a.m. ‘til 11:45 a.m. – Mandala Art. Have wanted to do a mandala workshop for quite some time now. So when I came across the story ‘The Dot’ By Peter H. Reynolds, I thought what a great story to inspire a discussion about dots and circles and the art of creating mandalas. We’ll watercolour paint our circles first, and then later doodle with pen and ink to add detail to the mandala. Looking forward to a blissed-out, zen-calm class! I wonder?
