College Arts Association: Embodied Creative Practices: A Calligraphy and Meditation SAC Masterclass with Han Dai-Yu
@ Hilton Chicago - Lower Level - Mobley Room
720 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Thursday, February 19th, from 2:30 PM - 4PM
This masterclass explores the intersection of calligraphy, meditation, and embodied creative practices. Participants will be guided through mindful drawing and writing exercises using simple and traditional materials—ink, water, pencil, and charcoal. The session will include breathing and meditative techniques aimed at heightening awareness of gesture, rhythm, and mark-making as both a visual and internal process.
Special attention will be given to the act of “seeing” through the body: observing how the hand moves, how breath influences line, and how ancient calligraphic principles can inspire contemporary meditative art practices. Participants will engage in quiet drawing rituals and be encouraged to reflect on the experience of making marks as a sensory and contemplative event.
All levels of experience and welcomes diverse ways of seeing and making.
