​​​​​​​EXPERIMENTS IN CREATIVITY PART TWO: BIG PROJECT

(ONLINE CLASS)

​

​​

Craving that feeling of being dedicated to an extended creative project but feeling short on ideas or motivation? Join this small group workshop and get something started, progressed, and completed (or at least well on its way) in eight weeks. In this workshop, you’ll receive prompts to spark ideas, support for concept development, weekly deadlines to keep you accountable to your project, reading materials to inspire you, and group critique / sharing of resources that will strengthen your work. The majority of required materials will be determined by each participant as your project concept solidifies, but you will also need an oracle deck, a blank journal/sketchbook dedicated to this project, and a pair of dice. This course is open to creatives working in any genre. It is not necessary to have taken my Experiments Part One to enroll.

​

Wednesdays, March 18 - May 13, 6-8pm Central.Time(class will not meet on April 8)

$225 for 8 weeks (but only $175 if you've taken Part One with me at any time)

STYLE & SUBSTANCE 

(ONLINE CLASS)

 ​

​​

As artists and writers of all kinds, it can be challenging to recognize how we have developed a unique style in our work. It can be just as difficult to notice when we have relied on the same tropes or themes for too long. Learning more about our own developed style, or lack thereof, and examining our work for uniqueness, redundancies, and missed opportunities can strengthen it as well as increase our creative confidence. This course provides a chance to:

• thoroughly analyze your work – text-based or visual – for personal patterns

• find the words to accurately describe what you discover

• examine your creative process and work habits

• explore ways to infuse more creative variation into your work

As part of our analysis, we will look at examples of well-known career artists and their work over time to help us understand and recognize individual and collective style. You will then turn that attention onto your own collected works and revise or compose artist statements to better reflect your personal findings. As creative people, it’s important to appreciate what we’ve built so far and to surprise ourselves by what else we might be capable of. The generative part of this course will give you a chance to also try something new.
