A event held at L'Étoile Studio on Wednesday 21st June. The event starts at 18:00.
Meditations on the Tarot is a new event format that combines the study of the Major Arcana of the Tarot and drawing. The classes aim at facilitating the comprehension of tarot cards by internalising the meanings and generating art inspired by each archetype.
The card subject of this session is the Empress (Major Arcana N.3) . Its meanings and symbolism will be introduced by a selection of images picked among different decks (ancient Italian cards, Marseille, Raider/Waite and contemporary decks) and art history images. Then, the participants will have the opportunity to experiment with the energy of the arcane by making a drawing (or more than one drawing!). They can provide a (new) visual interpretation of the card or whatever comes to their minds.
It is not necessary to get to a final artwork in one session, the experience is meant to visually translate any emerging ideas or associations which can then later be implemented in a painting, a poem, to inform your creative process, or in your life. Your choice!
Who is it aimed at:
Creative or not - the workshop is open to everyone who wants to have a go! No artistic or drawing skills are required. People are invited to participate even if they prefer to use the experience to produce other art forms such as poetry, music, etc. Materials such as paper, pencils, markers, crayons, oil pastels and other mediums are available - but feel free to bring your own.
Outcome:
It is desirable and desired to be able to collect the materials produced during the session or later to exhibit them in a virtual space (website/Instagram). A possible outcome could be (eventually!) publishing a deck whose profits will be donated to a charity of the participant's choice. The workshop also aims to favour relationships and connections between the people involved and create a community around the project.
Where:
L'Etoile Art Space - 18 West Street, BS2 0BH, Bristol (Old Market). Please be aware that google maps redirects you to the other side of the road.
When:
Wednesday 21st of June 2023 - 18.00-20.00
