SUMMARY:White Magic: Contemplative Photography and Visual Haiku  - Zoom course
DESCRIPTION:This course joins the practice of Miksang contemplative photography with the practice of haiku writing. \nThis class is open to everybody\n——– \nEach Season has its own sensibility\, manifestation and magic. In the Northern climates\nWinter manifests through cold\, ice and snow. \nThis White Magic resonates with the contemplative “Zen” aesthetic of simplicity\, space\,\npurity\, sabi (loneliness) and Yugen (white mystery). This course includes a study of these\ncontemplative principles and is a way to deepen contemplative Mind. (the texts will be provided). \nBesides the ways of Winter this course will explore the practice of Visual Haiku – a little\nWinter happening or narrative. For those who are haiku practitioners\, we will include the\ncombination of visual images with haiku practice. \nTwo different offerings : \nOn Saturdays :  February 1st – 15th – 22nd and March 8th.     From 1PM to 3PM – Eastern Standard Time\nOR\nOn Tuesdays : February 4th – 18th – 25th and March 11th.   From 7PM to 9PM – Eastern Standard Time\n———————- \nNo photographic experience is necessary. \nIt is not necessary to have done a “Level 1” which is the formal introduction to Miksang practice \nYou need a digital camera. (a good smart phone camera is workable). \nCourse Fee: $125 -$150 (CAN) \nRegistration: dralaimage@gmail.com \nFor more contemplative programs\, go to : Current Courses: www.dralaimage.com \np.s. If there are those who do not live in a White Winter climate but would like to explore\nthe play between Visual Haiku and written Haiku let me know and we can set up a\nseparate course.  Contact me at dralaimage@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:The Art of Minimalism: Black and White Photography (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:In this class we will create contemplative black and white images that evoke a sense of\nintimacy and emotion. Participants will learn to skillfully blend stark simplicity with\nprofound depth. \nBy removing color\, students will create images that allow the viewer to engage with the\nessential elements of composition\, texture\, pattern\, space\, and light\, creating images\nthat resonate with a meditative quality. \nThis class will also include a photo walk through downtown Winston-Salem. Photo\nwalks can provide a source of inspiration and be a time of learning new techniques and\nsharing your own knowledge and ideas with class participants. \nThis class is great for photographers\, artists at heart\, or the curious wanting to explore\nthe symbiotic relationship between contemplative practice and photography. You can\nuse whatever camera that is available to you\, including your cell phone. \nInstructor: Tim Auman\nDates: March 18\, 25\, April 1\, 8\nTime: 6:30-8:00 pm\nLocation: The Sawtooth School for Visual Art\, Winston-Salem\, NC
