About the Course
This course offers a foundational lesson in Buddhist painting led by Ms. Qianhe Man, an artist and lecturer at the Beijing Institute of Technology. Through an appreciation of classical painting, we can understand the aesthetic culture of Buddhist art and the spirit behind the works. During this course, we will explore the styles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317 - 420) as well as line drawing in the traditional ink-and-brush style of Master Hong Yi (1880–1942). Master Hong Yi was an eminent Chinese Buddhist monk, artist, and calligrapher.
Students are invited to create line drawings of Buddhist images using the traditional ink and brush method, and enjoy peace and meditation through the practice of painting.
Theory Class
