Day of Arts - workshops & artistic presentations
Details
Art has long been a means to express and perceive universal values of beauty and harmony by finding an expression to unite opposites, like light and darkness, sounds and silences or movement and stillness. And the artist, like the philosopher, finds a way to make the invisible visible or perceivable, whether in paintings, sculptures, music, dance, poetry and so much more.
Join us for an afternoon in the search for Wisdom through Philosophy & Art.
2pm Introduction ‘The Muses’ (Free)
Introduction to the day, with a short talk on the ‘The Muses’, inspiring poetry and dramatic readings.
Ongoing workshop – “Making a shared mosaic” (Free)
From all the individual pieces of tiles there emerges a beautiful unity, each piece is different and contributes to the collective. This is one of the key principles in Mosaic art. Learn more about this and the fundamentals of creating mosaics and how to create simple designs using colourful tiles.
All are welcome! No experience necessary for any of the activities.
