In Class Kana's cooking team (CIA students) welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds. Please visit to learn how to make a Korean traditional non-glutinous half moon rice cake! It is a rice cake steamed on a layer of pine needles. After watching tutorials by CIA students, participants will make the shape of half moon, pumpkin, and flower with beautiful natural color doughs (which is made by non-glutinous rice powder). Then, fill the stuff into the dough with sesame seeds and other ingredients such as honey, sugar, salt and cinnamon powder. Each student will make 15 half moon rice cakes by themselves, as well as enjoying a free half moon rice-cake tasting. The instructors will prepare the ingredients and recipe that students can bring home to share rice cakes with their lovely friends or family as gifts.
FIGURE DRAWING CLASS
In Class
Have you always wanted to learn to draw or develop your childhood skills? We are offering you a confidence enhancing drawing class, suitable for beginners and those who feel a little bit set in their way of drawing. This is great one-off class to join. Not only the live model will pose for the class, but also the students are highly encouraged to pose for better understanding of figure drawing, and for fun. Students will learn to draw variety of poses where they will aim for strong gesture and draftsmanship. Poses will be relatively short, to focus on capturing the movements and fundamental construction of the figure, and understanding the abstract rhythms that make the figure such an important and captivating subject. There will be constant demonstrations as well as critiques. We plan for a small class setting with a maximum of 10 students. All basic materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring materials of your choice if you so wish.

CANVAS COLLAGE CLASS: DIVE INTO DADA
What is DADA?
DADA is the reason why Marcel Duchamp turned an upside down and signed it. Then he became a significant figure in art history. DADA was a form of artistic anarchy, challenging the existing values in the society. Many different forms of contemporary arts (such as theatre, painting and music) were part of this movement.
In Class
To remove the self from art, the instructor Young Sun will guide students through a set of instructions to make the most out of random chance. Through this class, students will learn how to take advantage of each situation, making the decisions they can between the restrictions. Students will walk away with a collage media form as a final piece that reflects their artistic persona.
Final Product
Your very own painting of artistic anarchy! (on a physical canvas)
What You'll Learn
Basic color theory, The history and artistic significance of the DADA movement, How to visually solve the problems, Critique & Feedback
All basic materials will be provided. Students are encouraged to bring supplies they would like to include in their final pieces. As this class will focus on a collage, magazines and other collage materials will be useful. Classes will take place in a small classroom setting with an estimated attendance of 10 per class.
