TIBETAN THANGKA ART WORKSHOP #1- Drawing the Buddha
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2012
2 - 5 pm
This first workshop in the Thangka Painting series will focus on the fundamentals of drawing. In traditional Tibetan learning, the student will continue drawing practice for months or even years before they progress on to painting, but here in the faster paced West we will dedicate one workshop to this basis for the art, for each student to continue practicing on their own.
Our goal for the workshop will be to draw the Buddha you see to the right, beginning with understanding the sacred geometry of the diety, using a thigse (grid). The process bears a strong resemblance to "drawing from the right side of the brain" and is beneficial to those wishing to strengthen their drawing/seeing skills in general. We will start with pencil and optionally move on to inking and/or shading.
Materials required:
- Drawing pad (preferably acid free and good for ink drawings), 8.5x11 or larger
- Drawing pencils (HB, H2, and H4 are ideal for thangka art. Mechanical pencils are very good but regular will be acceptable)
- Eraser (kneaded recommended) & sharpener
- Ruler/straight edge
- Optional (for inking): Liner brush: 10/0 (Golden Taklon or something comparable - soft synthetic with good point)
- Optional (for inking): waterproof black drawing ink

Rajasthani Gypsy Dance Workshop
With Special Guest Teacher Annya Ishtara
FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 6 - 8pm
at Hamsa Arts, 1919 Spruce ST Boulder
Rajasthani Gypsy or Kalbelia Dance is fun, lively, folkloric and non-technical. It is characterized by rhythmic stomps and kicks everchanging hand movements, spinning, and dancing on the ground and with partners. It is a dance for fun and celebration. Many people have seen this dance in the Indian portion of the film Latcho Drom.
Annya Ishtara studied dance with Kalbelia women in Rajasthan, India.The Kalbelia people are the gypsies of Rajasthan. Snake charming is one of the traditional occupations of these formerly nomadic people. Many scholars believe that gypsies originated in northwest India (the area of Rajasthan) and traveled through Asia to Egypt, Turkey, and beyond into Europe and other parts of the world. As part of understanding one of the many roots of bellydance, Annya went to India to learn dances of the Kalbelia people. She also studied Ghoomar Ladies Dance, another folkloric dance, while in Rajasthan.
Annya's website is www.annya-ishtara-dance.com
