The creative process is about how artworks come to life and includes five steps: gathering inspiration, idea generation and development, preparation, creation, and reflection.
Every artist has a unique process, and understanding yours can be a helpful tool for making stronger, more meaningful pieces and for dealing with studio challenges. In this three-week course, students will learn about the creative process, and they will begin to discover and define their own. Each week, different aspects of process will be introduced and explored through presentations, hands-on exercises, writing, and conversation. Students should also expect to spend some time working outside of class.
This class is an opportunity to deeply consider the how and why of your work. It’s also a great way to reinvigorate your practice if you’ve been feeling stuck or feel ready to explore new territory and are unsure where to begin.
This is an online class that takes place on Wednesday the 5th, 12th, and 19th of March: 5 pm until 7 pm (CET)
Language: English
Price: €210 excl. VAT
Max 15 participants
