GOLDEN MANDALAS with Claudia Salguero (Regional Artist: WQSB)
After a brief review of how the ancient artistic technique of Mandalas has been used in many cultures around
the world as a tool to represent the universe, students will draw a template that will be the beginning of a
personal art creation. Through patterns, textures, pointillism, exploring contrast, volume, rhythm, movement
and discovering shapes within shapes, they will express themselves creating a personal work of art.
Themes: This workshop provides an opportunity for discussion about belonging in Quebec.
