Connect & Create: Drawing as Meditation with Susan Morelock
December 9 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Disconnect and de-stress in this peaceful evening session in the LUAG Main Galleries. We’ll begin with some gentle seated movement, followed by a short guided meditation. Then, with a cultivated sense of heightened awareness, we will move together through several drawing exercises, creating experimental drawings inspired by the season, observation, and curiosity about the world all around us. The resulting drawings will be experimental, fluid, foundational, gestural, and incredibly fun. Here, the emphasis is on mark-making, gesture, and connecting the practice of drawing with the practice of meditation. No prior drawing or meditation experience is required, as the practice is really based on the individual’s response to the experience in the moment. All supplies will be provided, and participants will take home their own drawing kit. Space is limited to 25 participants. Please register in advance. If you require assistance filling out this form, prefer to share your registration information via email or phone, or have questions, concerns, or any accessibility needs, please email Elise at ejs421@lehigh.edu or call 610-758-6882.
