Join Morgan Mandala in discovering methods to merge aspects of spirit and matter within our art.
In this course we will cultivate skills to dive into your intuition, and learn to break down physical form into pigment.
Human beings have the extraordinary ability to exercise both analytical and visionary parts of the brain through creation.
We will study the history of spirituality within art, and practice methods to induce the intuitive, imaginative side of your creativity.
We will also cultivate your observational skills to recreate physical matter through paint, studying landscape and form.
By combining these two aspects within your work,
you will learn to imbue representational art
with the spirit that is
uniquely you.

"I paint to visually explore our connection to the world, each other, and our inner selves living the conscious human experience. Mandalas are graphic representations of the universe - the multiplicity, and the singularity; the macrocosm, and microcosm. I re-interpret and merge objects and symbols in my paintings to narrate facets of humanity and spirituality. I aim to visually create metaphors for our seamless connection to the world, and open up a wider understanding (or questioning) of what we see and how we perceive. "
