JOURNEY INTO ABSTRACTION

Journey into Abstraction is a high-quality and small size creative experience that uses the elements of art to explore abstraction as a pathway to self-expression.  All projects  are designed to develop intuition and the ability to be creative, and resourceful, in the face of change.

What is Abstraction?

• It is a way to simplify what we see to essential shapes
• It is an "outside of the box" way of seeing the world around us
• It is freedom of expression and a reflection of the artist’s soul
• It is a process that uses intuition to guide the artist to choose colors and marks to create art
• It is a pathway that leads to spiritual expression (to see beyond what is) and a deeper meaning
• It is more than a technique. It comes from a deeper place and brings together all of life’s experiences.

"There is no must in art because art is free."
​Vassily Kandinsky

"Color is a power which directly influences the soul."
​Vassily Kandinsky

​Our art studio is a communal space where artists, despite of age or artistic skills, have a unique voice.  We offer a holistic approach to art-making combining mixed-media art with spiritual practices like yoga, chanting, prayer, singing bowls, walking meditation, and sand mandalas.  Our daily mindful practices prepare our young artists to be focused and to work well in group.  During camp, art becomes the foundation to build a community centered in peace, love and creativity.
