Rhythms of Korea: Percussion Workshop Series

Posted on by

Try your hand at the rhythms of Korea in this new drumming series! Participants explore Korea’s percussion heritage through six sessions of hands-on instruction guided by percussionist Brian Chae.

This workshop series focuses on samulnori, a type of pungmul or folk music. Samulnori means “four objects play.” The four objects are: kwaenggwari (small gong), jing (large gong), janggu (hourglass-shaped drum) and buk (barrel drum). Samulnori comes in many forms and varies depending on the region in which it is practiced. Participants will enjoy playing the janggu and buk drums!

Join us on Monday nights to experiment with the traditional beats of Korea!

All are welcomed to participate in this workshop series. Drumming or dance experience is not required. All ages, body types, abilities, and genders are encouraged to join!

Minhwa: Korean Folk Painting Workshop with Seongmin Ahn

Posted on by

2015 06 03-17 minwha iconLearn about Minhwa, Korean folk painting, from artist Seongmin Ahn in this 3 week course. Minhwa commonly refers to a genre of Korean folk art from the late Chosŏn era (17th–19th C.) and, as a popular form, conveys freshness and vitality, in contrast with the more scholarly and stern Muninhwa-style favored by the yangban, or aristocratic class. The use of vibrant primary colors and exaggerated painting styles were indicative of the taste of the middle-class, who wanted to imitate the yangban love of art, but with a touch of flamboyance. Flowers were a favorite motif and, in this workshop, you will paint peonies using distinctive Minhwa’s decorative painting techniques. Beginners, as well as all levels of experience, are welcome.

 This workshop meets for a total of 7.5 hours over three sessions:

Wednesdays, June 3, 10 and 17  | 6 – 8:30 PM

 

Advance ticket purchase is required for this event. Space is limited.

Members: $150, Non-Members: $180

Materials included.

Art Workshop-Sumukhwa: Korean Ink Brush Painting

2014 05 27 sumukhwa

Artist Sungsook Setton introduces Sumukhwa, Korean ink brush painting, in this four-session course. Learn brush stroke techniques, composition, and essential skills by painting the four gracious or noble plants: plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo.

During the Chosǒn Dynasty, ink brush paintings of the four “noble plants” were popular with the Korean literati. They symbolized traditional Confucian values, while also suggesting the seasons and passage of time. Bamboo, always green, even in winter, bends without breaking and symbolizes loyalty and fidelity. The plum tree flowers before the snows melt and signals the coming of spring. The orchid evokes a world of beauty, and fragile, delicate harmony in the summer. Chrysanthemums bloom in late autumn.

While mastering brush strokes, participants will also gain an understanding and appreciation of Korean art and aesthetics.
