The Mayans speak of Hunab Ku, the Galactic Center and Heart of the Sky, as the giver of movement and measure. The Order of Freemasonry attributes the square and compass, instruments of the architect, as its symbolic tools. By ascribing sacred meaning to forms, proportions and symbols, artists and craftspeople imbue and sanctify their creations.
In this hands-on class we will explore sacred geometry in many forms. Topics include the drawing of the flower of life, painting traditional mosaics of the middle-east, and illustrating the symmetry found in nature. Each class will explore a different topic and no two classes will be the same.
Materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own art supplies, sketchbooks and canvases.
