Mindful Drawing

10:00 am - 11:00 am

A mindful drawing workshop inspired by the exhibition Gateway to Himalayan Art. This hour-long session invites participants to slow down and engage in quiet observation and intentional mark-making, drawing inspiration from the exhibition’s sculptures, paintings, and sacred symbols. Through guided prompts and a focus on process over outcome, we’ll explore drawing as a contemplative practice, reflecting on themes of symbolism, spirituality, and storytelling found in Himalayan art. No prior drawing experience is necessary; all materials are provided. Space is limited; please email artheals@uoregon.edu to reserve a spot. Reservations are required. Reservations close on Friday, April 17.
