In four sessions, we will create artworks based on observation. Still life compositions will be set up, photographed in optimum lighting, and provided to students for the class. The instructor will offer a clear step-by-step approach from initial layout of the composition to final touches. For those with more experience or targeted interests, the instructor will be a resource for guidance and feedback as desired. Drawing and painting demonstrations will be done in pastel and oil paint.
The course is appropriate for both beginner and experienced artists.

Tai Chi-Qigong is a healing exercise for our body, opening blocked energy channels through proper posture, breath work, and advanced concentration within graceful movement. Through this practice the condition of cells, muscles, bones, and joints are strengthened and revitalized, improving the function of internal organs and intestines.

Tai Chi (TaeGeuk) is the principle of the cosmic energy cycle. When cosmic energy is created and eventually reaches its peak, instead of disappearing, the energy converts into a different type of energy, thereby continuing its lifecycle.

Qigong is the understanding and application of the Tai Chi principle into our lives. We can embrace the cosmic energy cycle and transform ourselves, leading a less self-centered and more altruistic, devoted life.
