Art with Artist Candace Winter, Oct. 21st
Dot painting is the art of making dots in different sizes in a pattern. Mandalas are seen as symbols of mindfulness and can represent personal growth, self-expression and the universe. The creation of repetitive patterns within a circle is used in meditation and quieting the mind.
On Monday October 21st you will be guided in this art form by teaching artist, Candace Winter, to create your very own beautiful Dot Mandala on a DVD! But not only will you be bringing your beautiful artworks home, but you will take away a new skill to meditate and create art that you can do on your own at home with inexpensive accessible supplies. Whether on paper, rocks, or up-cycled DVDs, dot art is a wonderful way to create beautiful art and gaining focus. All supplies for the evening are provided for each artist to create several Dot Mandalas on DVDs even take away an easel in which to display your favorite.
