A event on Tuesday 17th September. The event starts at 17:30.
This event combines the study of the Major Arcana of the Tarot and drawing to memorise and internalise the meanings of the cards by generating art inspired by the archetypes.
Every time, we feature a different card and on this occasion, we will meditate on the Star - XVII Major Arcana of the Tarot. Its meanings and symbolism will be introduced by a selection of images picked among different decks (ancient Italian cards, Marseille, Raider/Waite and contemporary decks) and art history images.
Then, the participants will experiment with the energy of the arcane by making a drawing (or more than one drawing!) providing a (new) visual interpretation of the card or whatever comes to their minds!
It is not necessary to get to a final artwork in one session, the experience is meant to visually translate any emerging ideas or associations which can then later be implemented in a painting, a poem, to inform your creative process, or in your life. Your choice!
Who is it aimed at:
Creative or not - the workshop is open to everyone who wants to have a go! No artistic or drawing skills are required. People are invited to participate even if they prefer to use the experience to produce other art forms such as poetry, music, etc. Materials such as paper, pencils, markers, crayons, oil pastels and other mediums are available - but feel free to bring your own.
