Ever wonder what’s on the other side of your daily consciousness? Or how to access that great pool of energy at the source of yourself?

Line is the trace left by the body as you draw.

You live in your body, but do you know it’s line? Come celebrate your body and open yourself to the knowledge locked inside - go inward and draw out sensation, slow down and truly feel.

In this workshop we will cover:

• Silent Awareness - sitting in quiet meditation and allow new energy to enter

• Line and Feeling - simple means to record complex sensation

• Tools and Expression - the range of mark and our emotions

• Self and Other - how to connect through story

This figure drawing class is for anyone looking to solidify their connection to themselves. Any level of art experience is welcome

About Tom:

Thomas Bosket teaches at Parsons the New School and has taught workshops on: ColorBots (color theory taught through basic robotics), and Exploring Perception Through Interpretation (an interactive drawing exploration). Finding that creativity and art were much more than exclusive objects to be hung on walls, he began to develop workshops that integrated the creative spirit into everyday life. These workshops are beneficial to any life learner.

Thomas studied painting at Parsons and received his M.F.A. from Yale University in 1995. He is a NYS licensed massage therapist and has studied with vocal coach Claude Stein to connect his “thinking body” with his feeling voice. These exploration have led to an integration of body, mind and spirit in service to the teaching of individual creative expression. One student said this “cocktail” teaches you “the why we make art instead of the how that so many teachers focus on”. Please see his latest ventures at ENGN.
