Mandala Workshop

About the class: Based on his travels to China, and his series of Mandala paintings, international artist Bart Vargas leads a workshop to paint your own Mandala painting. Through mark making and the exploration of positive and negative space, students will explore pattern, repetition and color theory, but most of all have fun! All materials are included.

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before the start of the class. When you enter the building, look to the left for the passenger elevator. Press 3R. Upon entering the 3rd floor, head towards the bathrooms as the classroom entrance is next to it.
