DESCRIPTION:Experience the spirit and exuberance of the contemporary\, yet 
 ancient\, art of Japanese ink painting: sumi-e. Learn to create classic th
 emes and techniques\, called the Four Gentlemen: bamboo\, orchid\, chrysan
 themum\, and plum blossom. Each theme introduces a different stroke or ide
 a. Students will end by painting a horse to celebrate 2014\, the year of t
 he horse.\n\nIn Japan\, sumi-e was first introduced in the 7th Century AD 
 by Japanese scholars returning from a visit to China. Chinese calligraphy 
 and painting became uniquely adapted to Japanese culture and identity. Zen
  Buddhist priests also used sumi-e as a Zen exercise and discipline. Many 
 Western artists\, especially the Impressionists\, studied sumi-e or have b
 een influenced by its beauty and freedom of expression.\n&amp;nbsp\;All levels
  are welcome.\n\nThe instructor is:&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp\;&lt;/strong&gt;Shirley Lin Kin
