Description:
“MassQing”
This workshop will enable participants to learn about Daniel’s technique and ritual of MassQing, which uses the human face as canvas to create living works of art that seek to reveal rather than conceal who we are:
1. Workshop introduction: An overview of MassQing followed by conversation and reflection on who and how we are
2. Translating reflections into visual ideas using line, color and form and mapping those ideas onto a diagram of the face
3. Using the materials paper and pen/markers/cutouts to make a MassQ design
4. Sharing the results with each other
