Chakra Color Wheels Workshop: Centering Oneself in Times of Unrest

What to Expect:

Create a color wheel from found objects as we explore our chakras and the colors associated with each one. In times of unrest, it is crucial that we balance ourselves and our intentions in order to exude our best energy unto others. We all have a role to play in our communities. How can we be sure that our thoughts, words, and actions support peace within ourselves and others? Edwin Calderon of Red Dirt Studio leads this workshop which includes a therapeutic exploration within and guided color wheel creation. It will also include a brief walkthrough of color theory, the science of how particular colors make us feel, viewing works from the Philips’s collection as inspiration for your own piece.

Materials:

-small found objects with as many different colors as possible (including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and anything in between)

-a clear surface to arrange on

-a camera or phone to photograph your assemblage/ or arranged objects

Edwin Calderon is a painter and community artist. In his studio work, he uses painting and various media to conceptualize with shape and color. His paintings have qualities of nonrepresentational and abstract work, but they hold deeper meaning. In his eyes, they depict living entities in an "unseen" realm, which he uses to evoke positive energy in himself and his world .
