| Traveling and art are a symbiotic
combination –– at once stimulating, nourishing and often unsettling. To
experience oneself in an unknown setting, to record sensations in a myriad of forms and
media –– this is how art can provide the means for the attentive traveler. This workshop is designed with both the inner and outer traveler in mind and explores experimental drawing and painting techniques, emphasizing art as a discovery process. We will make books, constructions and small shrines devoted to the celebration of, "the closer we look, the more we see." |

Instruction, through demonstration and group exercises, may include making a personal travel journal, drawing, writing and collage, according to the interests of the group. There will be field trips to the local market and beaches to gather and absorb the special indigenous flavors, nuances and conversations, returning to the studio to learn new techniques in both writing and visual forms. Participants will bring a small art kit (see below), and other basic materials will be provided. Suitable for all levels. No previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to experience yourself and your surroundings anew. Suggested reading: "The Art of Pilgrimage", by Phil Cosineau, Conari Press, Berkeley, CA, 1998
