Across Mediums: An Experiment in Radical Creativity
So raise your hand if you're someone who... * hoards art supplies, telling herself that she'll use them (and then somehow that doesn't happen).
* secretly longs to quit her day job and spend long days sketching or painting or collaging at a studio desk.
* gets totally inspired when she buys the canvas at the art store, then feels paralyzed with fear or resistance when it's time to sit down.
* someone who makes the first brush or pen stroke, sighs and thinks, "That sucks," maybe gives it another few minutes and then gives up.
* would love to do something creative, but doesn't have the time or money to go to art school.
* would love to do something creative, but doesn't want to have people critique her work--why can't it just be fun?
* would love to create lots of artwork, but what would one do with it once it's finished?
* is creative on a regular basis, but has a "been there, done that" feeling about most projects and is looking for something new.
* promises herself that this time, she'll finish that sketchbook and yet...yet...yet...
Register today for Across Mediums, an experiment in "radical creativity." The purpose of the course is not to complete a finished piece--it's to dive in, get messy, get inspired, break out of a creative rut, try something completely and totally new, and totally detach from the artistic process as a process that can be overwhelmingly perfectionistic.
You'll probably "mess things up," and hopefully have fun doing it!
The course will do this by experimenting across different mediums of creativity: writing, sketching, painting, photography, and 3-D manipulation. Each creative medium will in some way influence the work that you're doing, yet everyone's pieces will turn out differently because the guidelines put forth will be interpreted differently by all.
