9 Jan.

In January 2007 the W.B.P.A. took some steps to build up a further learning course for bodypainting interested people. This week we started the second round of seminars but this time in an advanced extended form.

The WBPA is holding a three weeks learning course with five different teachers to cover all the aspects of bodypainting in an indepth teaching and learning experience. A group of ten students from Korea and China have made the effort to travel all the way to Austria to take advantage of these amazing teachers and to take their own art making to a higher level. The workshops kicked off with three days from Bella Volen teaching bodypainting, history and art theory.

A photo report will follow in the end of the course in 2 weeks.

4 Jan. The new photo catalogue from the World Bodypainting Festival 2008 is now available.
