    Description

    In this course you'll learn the art technique of Mandala-Inspired Dot Paint. We'll go through a variety of tools that can be used for dot art and you'll take home your own set. You tutor will demonstrate different shapes and patterns. You'll have the opportunity to choose the material you want to work on eg canvas, stone, or wood, and will take home your completed art. You'll learn two different approaches to Mandala Dot Painting.  Mandala is a sanskit word that literally translates as circle or disc - circle mandalas are the most commonly seen form.

    What should I bring?

    Your lunch plus an open mind and a willingness to enjoy the process. Acrylic paint does not wash off clothes so wear old clothes. We'll provide tea and coffee in the staff-room for breaks. Your course fee includes all materials (value $14) and we expect you'll complete two dot paintings during the day.

    Who should attend?

    Anyone looking for an accessible introduction to the world of painting and art. Those looking for a relaxing and meditative pastime. Those looking to explore dot painting as a new method of expression.

    Expected learning outcomes

    • knowledge of different tools that can be used
    • knowledge of two different approaches to dot painting
    • confidence to start dot painting at home on canvases or other media
