• From 9 a.m. to noon, there is a SWAN Workshop: LINE, with instructor Stephanie Jung, at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, at 1900 W. MacArthur.

This is the first of six sessions that will focus on exploring the elements of art as visual language. The language of art is the language of nature; textures, colors, shapes, movements. It is a universal language that honors all people, all ages, and all abilities. SWAN stands for Supporting Wellness through Art and Nature.

Session one is LINE, which is the most accessible of the elements of art, and can provide a gateway to looking at the world around you in a fuller way. This workshop will focus on mindfully “attending to the edges and energy” of things through the practice of contour drawings.

The Mabee-Gerrer’s collection will also be used to inspire a “line hunt” that will serve as the beginnings of a visual resource for the creation of an ongoing drawing journal practice. Cost for the program is $100.
