Training objective
Be able, within two years, to organize Japanese Indian ink painting (sumi-e) workshops for beginners and teach two subjects: bamboo (studied during the first year) and orchids (during the second year).
The number of subjects studied is limited in order to ensure their mastery.
Workshops can be organized at the end of the first year of training, focusing solely on bamboo, in order to ensure a quick income.In the painting method, beginners in the workshops generally practice the bamboo motif for several years, and the interest of the workshops is sustained by the increasing complexity of the models. Teaching only bamboo for one year is therefore not restrictive. Workshop participants will then practice orchids in the same way for several years.
A two-year additional training course is available to enable participants to achieve the objectives of the four-year course and teach other basic sumi-e motifs to experienced participants.
Contents
Practice of sumi-e, teaching methods, ethics, analysis of works.
Teaching is individualized, and practice is based on repetitive copying of models provided by the teacher, depending on the difficulties encountered.
However, by the end of the year, all students will have mastered the same complex summary models.
Improvisation, based on the basic elements of the subject, is introduced in the second half of the year.
Classes are given during 5- to 6-day courses, totaling more than 400 hours of classroom instruction.
Personal work is reviewed remotely on a weekly basis.
