Classes and Workshops
Japanese through art
In this class students will explore Japanese Folkloric Visual Art and create their own unique artwork using Sumi ink ( Traditional Japanese calligraphy ink), watercolor and other mediums. Japanese folkloric art often reflect the belief that the spiritual world and human life are deeply connected. Through this lens, students will discover symbols, stories and traditions that inspire imaginative and meaningful art projects- fun, expressive and full of cultural depth.
Origami and Illustration
Origami is magical! A square sheet of paper transforms into animals, geometric forms, miniature furniture and buildings, and many more. In Origami and illustration class, students make up their own story using Origami figure that they made.
Folding Origami papers helps children grow spatial intelligence and hand motor skills. In this class, students will make their own Origami paper in different sizes, from tiny to gigantic, which excites them to see interesting outcomes.
