Mark making is the result or record of the body’s movement with materials in hand. With a focus on being present-minded, participants will develop an awareness of their body in space and explore their personal kinesthetic language through simple yoga, breathing, and meditation exercises that will inform their visual language of painting, drawing, and mark making. In the Farnsworth galleries, we will consider gestural works of art, and the use of space within a curated environment. Then, in a fun and supportive setting, participants will be introduced to a variety of physical and visual possibilities sure to inspire and invigorate a creative learning environment. No yoga, or art experience necessary, just a willingness to stretch the body, mind, and spirit.
