$85, materials included, 1 day "try it out" price.
Spend your week with visiting artist Maria Borghoff! Learn to see from multiple perspectives with a tangible experience of the present moment. Drawing is a skill that anyone can learn, and somatic means "living body." When we practice Somatic Drawing, we are tuned in with all that encompasses being a living and breathing human being. We will explore the fives Koshas (layers of the body) through mindful awareness, observation practices, internal landscape study, and various methods and materials for drawing. Participants will create a collection of technique sketches, a series of completed drawings, as well as a new understanding of their own body. Students have the choice to either fully immerse in the Somatic Drawing process with the full 4-day workshop, or try it out and take one or two days. Maria Borghoff, BFA, resides in Atlanta, GA and is a community artist, creative wellness coach, and curator at GROOVE. Her interdisciplinary artwork is inspired by somatic psychology, bioenergetics, Sri Vidya Tantra, Hatha Yoga, and Qi Gong. Maria has taught in studios, museums, universities, and community centers, and she has published writing and exhibited artwork nationally.
