Art OPEN WORKSHOP 2012.

The goal of this workshop is to encourage communication through the practice of plastic arts, developing different techniques and trying to achieve conceptual results. This workshop will try to share with the participants other aesthetics references apart from the local one, all this through the exposition to elements from other cultures but always granting their total freedom for creation and exploration of their own personal style. These works will be based on “themes” closely related to the Latin culture as well as the Spanish language.

Participants will be able to develop drawing, painting and sculpture techniques.

System for taking classes
This yearly Workshop will be divided into several periods, based on Tiempo’s classes system (12 sections per year).

• In the one hand, we will offer classes to acquire new knowledge and techniques whether it’s from local artists or special guests.
• In the other hand, there will be group works coordinated by our art teacher Mori Sensei (one class per month) and another three sessions coordinated by Rodrigo Herrera, experienced and intercultural artists who will follow individually each participant’s production and progression.

Schedule

Wed.	18:00 to 20:30	Prof. Rodrigo Prof. Mori * Only the second Wednesday of the month.
Sat.	13:00 to 15:30	Prof. Rodrigo Prof. Mori * Only the third Saturday of the month.

Both regular classes and practical sessions will be made up of groups of no less than 4 people. However, owning to the fact that we want to increase the number of participants and because we are in an initial stage of this project, classes will start even though they don’t reach this minimum number of participants. It will be carried out like this for a period of one year at least; after that, the administration will evaluate the continuity of the project.
However participants are requested to understand that in these cases some changes can be applied to the classes schedule.
• 2 to 3 people attendance.
Class duration: 2 hours.

• 1 person attendance.
Class duration: 1 and a half hour

Monthly tuition fee
Regular courses: 7,500 yen (4 classes | 1 class: 2h 30min)

In order to achieve a big variety of techniques and possibilities in class, we will regularly invite different art teachers, announcing always the extra cost and the duration to the participants. These extraordinary classes will be taken instead of the practical sessions and their extra cost won’t be higher than 4.500 yens per month. In case of being more expensive than this, it would be consulted to the participants in advanced.

Classes calendar will be announced at least two months in advance.

• The price does not include the cost of materials.
• All of the courses consist of blocks with four classes in each block. There are a total of 12 blocks per year, making 48 classes.

Instructors

Leonardo Bravo
Trained in music and guitar, Leonardo Bravo studied at the School of Music at Universidad Nacional de Rosario. He has been intensely involved giving recitals both here and abroad. He has performed in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Spain, Italy, the United States and Canada. He has won numerous and prestigious competitions for classical guitar, but never strays far from folkloric roots during his concerts. His interest in this music style generated a search which gave rise to his own compositions and revived interest in others to write new music for guitar. From 1991, he became the academic chair of guitar at Universidad Nacional de Rosario.
Leonardo Bravo has produced four recordings: Leonardo Bravo, for the Círculo Guitarrístico Argentino; Guitarists of Rosario, for the Municipal Publishers for the City of Rosario; Songs of the World, together with the tenor Enrique Francovigh; and The Soul in the Root, his new solo recording that is part of the collection of Guitars of the World. The composer Marcelo Colonel wrote music specifically for this work, which is the route to the main musical regions of Argentina.

Guitar: Roberto Monteiro (Brazil)
Roberto was part during 3 years of the Companhia Folclorica do Rio with which he performed in different places in Brazil and carried out studies about Brazilian popular culture. He studied classic and flamenco guitar with Mara Lúcia Ribeiro as well as other great Brazilian and Spanish flamenco guitarists such as Allan Harbas, Fábio Nin, Fernando de la Rua, El Bola, Luciano Camara, Jony Gonçalves, Paco Cruz and Pino Losada. He performed in various places in Brazil and has recently taken part in Brasil Flamenco, in Madrid, with Fernando de la Rua and other Brazilian artists. He is currently pursuing superior studies in music at Rio de Janeiro Federal University.
