Happy (almost) Summer!

**An Oldie But A Goodie: The Big Draw Tokyo 2019**

Happy Summer From Atelier Kato Tokyo

In my last post I mentioned that we’ve been on a bit of a rollercoaster since my father passed away. But time is working its magic and we’re looking forward more than back.

One big reason… a new arrival will be joining Team Kato this autumn!

We’re excited and also planning ahead – Atelier Kato is changing and this summer will be our last summer art school.

Our When In Doubt, Draw art foundation course will be shifting online as I take maternity leave. Private art classes will continue, but availability will be limited (to accommodate the growing tribe!) so if you’ve always wanted to take the When In Doubt, Draw drawing programme, come and join me this summer! Details below.

Take care, stay well and enjoy the sunshine,

Divya, Masa, Ollie & Bump Kato x

Art For Hope

John Berger, Ways Of Seeing | Watch the 4 part BBC series here

The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. Each evening we see the sun set. We know that the earth is turning away from it. Yet the knowledge, the explanation, never quite fits the sight. – John Berger

One of my all time favourite art programmes and it’s about to turn 50!!

The Big Draw Japan

*** Due to current events, we didn’t conduct a Big Draw Japan last year as we think the best part about it is getting together to draw in person! That said, we’re seeing what’s possible for 2022 (when our newest arrival may be able to contribute a few scribbles too!) and will keep you posted! ***

Watch this space to join our award-winning, flagship event The Big Draw Japan Festival and be part of the world’s biggest drawing festival here in Japan!
