THEMATIC WORKSHOPS for ADVANCED level
THEMATIC WORKSHOPS for ADVANCED LEVEL
Our thematic weekend workshops integrate theory and practice and seek to work on aspects of brushwork based on relevant examples from the History of Japanese Art. They are intended for people who have a previous introduction to our study method, both in the field of painting and calligraphy. These workshops are either based on key figures in the History of Japanese Art, such as Sengai Gibon (1750-1837) or Hakuin Ekaku (1685-1768); or are based on themes that cut across painting and calligraphy, so that we do not focus on just one discipline, but rather look for the common spaces between them, as is the case with the course "From dragon to dragon". It is worth remembering that for Orientals, painting and calligraphy are "sister disciplines" that share materials, types of strokes and a development throughout history that cannot be understood in isolation.

"From dragon to dragon"
The main objective is to work on the dialogue between the different historical styles of the dragon kanji and its transformation towards a more pictorial representation, which leads to the use of loose, spontaneous and generous gestures that may arise during the proposed activities. 07/02/16 - SS de los Reyes (Madrid)Button -
