Join WITF at Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts for an art workshop exploring sacred geometry, a technique often used by Leonardo da Vinci to balance his masterpieces.
Saturday, October 12 • 4pm – 7pm
Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts
770 Cumberland St, Lebanon, PA 17042
Led by muralist Katie Trainer, the workshop explores the magic of sacred geometry used by Leonardo da Vinci to compose and balance his artwork.
You’ll discover how Leonardo da Vinci transformed simple geometric shapes into masterpieces. Learn to see patterns in nature and the human form, then use those patterns to bring your art to life with vibrant watercolors and acrylic paint.
No artistic experience needed – just curiosity and a desire to connect with something deeper.
Bringing da Vinci to Life is a series of events presented by WITF that celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s lasting impact as an artist, inventor and innovator. Events include 12 free Art Workshops for adults, ages 18 and up, throughout Central Pennsylvania.
