Awakening Arts Correspondence Course 1 - Creative Arts Intensive
Spiritual Art Lessons inspired by AnthropoSophia. Instructions include email, mail and telephone consultations. Visual Arts - Painting, Nature Drawing and Color Theory course based on Rudolf Steiner’s exercises for artists. Beginners and experienced artists welcome! This course is similar in content to the Awakening Arts Creative Arts Intensive offered in person, but provides a variation for those living at a distance who would like to work more independently and at their own pace. The course packet includes study materials on color theory by Goethe, Kandinsky and Rudolf Steiner. The watercolor painting exercises and related questions for contemplation are a beginning in-depth study into the individualities of color and their dynamic relationships. Drawing exercises include charcoal, conte crayon and pastel work with darkness and light, the four elements and the kingdoms of nature. The 24 sessions are meant to last over 6 months, four hours per week, but they can be completed over a longer period of time if necessary. |

Awakening Arts Correspondence Courses instructor, Carla Mattioli, M.A. is an Interfaith Minister, artist, art therapist, yoga teacher and healer of the heart who devotes her life to celebrating the power of the arts as a living, awakening source of Soul healing and Spiritual renewal. Therapeutic arts help us enormously in times of illness, loss and transition as we move through challenges toward self-realization and release old patterns that no longer serve us. We are sustained with wisdom and spiritual guidance that stream toward us through the practice of the arts. As the I Ching, The Chinese Book of Changes says, "creativity comes from awakening and directing our higher natures, which originate in the primal depths of the universe and are appointed by heaven."
