The Landscape Institute at Boston Architectural College will take a workshop on the road at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley, on four successive Tuesdays, July 9 – 30, from 6 – 9. Entitled Chinese Painting and Garden History Workshop, this rich seminar is collaboratively taught by Chinese landscape historian YoYi Chen and landscape painter Ma Qingxiong. His work is shown below. This unique offering is a creative course, exposing students to historical concepts in Chinese landscape design, such as using multiple viewpoints and evocative juxtapositions, as well as teaching participants to compose artistic landscape ink drawings. The format is a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and workshop painting in the gardens. $300. To register, log on to www.the-bac.edu/LI.
