Calliarts - Andean Cross with Karina Barnard

Dear Members and Followers,

And now for something completely different, this month's Calliarts will see us creating a

Chakana Symbol/ Andean Cross Design.

The Chakana is often referred to as "The Cross of the Andes" or the "Inca Cross". Learn how to draw this symbol which is fascinating in its symmetry and meanings. Then we will play with all the different possibilities of colour and shapes that it can inspire.

 
Considering May is Mindfulness Month this seems to fit right into the whole concept.

Materials List:

• ·         Regular calligraphy gear, including layout pad - A3 or A4 in size.

• ·         Geometric Compass, small ruler, 2H pencil. (A compass is essential for this exercise)

• ·         Favourite colours in gouache or watercolour, or watercolour pencils.
