| ‘Awakening
The Eye’ is a unique nine-week course about
seeing and drawing. It is unique because of its emphasis
on the process of seeing and drawing, rather than the end-product:
the emphasis is on the journey, rather than the destination.
‘Awakening The Eye’
is based on the work of Dr. Frederick Franck (‘The
Zen of Seeing’) and of Prof. Betty Edwards (‘Drawing
on the Right Side of the Brain’), as well as my own
experience over the past forty years as a painter and art
lecturer. No previous experience is needed to do this course.
On the other hand, it is of relevance to the practicing
artist and designer, as it is about extending the individual’s
capacity to see more clearly, more profoundly.

‘Awakening
The Eye’ is about exploring different ways
of seeing. At the deepest level, seeing and drawing can
become a form of meditation-in-action, comparable to the
Zen Tea Ceremony or to Tai-Chi.
‘Awakening The Eye’
was started at Linden in 1992. The course has also been
presented at Melbourne University, the C.A.E. and at the
University of South Australia. The first session of each
nine-week course is an introductory session. The basic fee
for the nine weeks is $245.00 (concessions available) and
there is a 10% discount for payment in advance.
