Minhwa Canada brings Asian Folk Art Courses to Toronto, Canada from artist and instructor, Min Soo Kim.

Minhwa, Korean Folk Painting from Chosun Dynasty (15-19th century), is a unique art form only developed in Korea, which is created and appreciated by common people. Unlike Ink Painting, Minhwa was drawn by the demands of people. Therefore it is strongly related to people’s lives wishing good luck, long life and expelling evil spirit. It also shows humour and wit of Korean people, which is one of the main characteristics found in Korean art.

This course aims to help students understand unique identity and creativity of Minhwa. They will also explore the vibrant and colourful world of Minhwa, which are relatively less recognized compared to Ink painting. Students at any age and artistic level will learn basic techniques of traditional Korean colour painting by first creating a replica of their favourite Minhwa painting. Materials and techniques include working with mulberry paper, Korean ink, Korean colour powder and watercolour and Korean brush. All materials are included in courses and may be purchased at class if desired.
