Sumie
is a beautiful way to paint nature and the world in all its beauty & grace
as we see the world in a different light.
Chan
Buddhism from China
travelled to Japan in the 13
C. Sumie is a discipline made famous by the Zen monks in Japan
The
art requires a change of perspective and philosophy in order to see the world
in the Zen way. In Zen nature and
humanity is one, joined by the same elements of water, wood, fire etc...and in
the painting process we join with nature to express the very essence of the
world in a minimalist fashion.
Therefore,
a reflective quietened mind which leads to a peaceful heart and spirit is, The
Way of Zen Sumie. Rice paper, a
brush and monochrome black ink art the simple tools.
Learn
to concentrate and relax. Find a lifelong discipline for the soul and discover nature’s
essence, or ‘Chi’ from Gerard, a respected artist, Tai Chi teacher.
Teacher: Gerard a Tai
Chi and Aikido teacher with a Masters in Asia studies imbibes in the class a
rich background & perspective from Asia
where he has studied and lived. Gerard
has toured schools, has had art residencies in Vic and SA colleges/schools
