Art for the Curious Workshop

South Peace Community Arts Council — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 06:47:12 +0000

What sparks your creativity?

This Expressive Arts workshop takes an interdisciplinary (mixed-media) process-based approach to art making.

The Expressive Arts believe that the arts belong together and that they belong to all of us, in the service of life and well-being. The Expressive Arts invite the exploration of process, rather than product. The focus is on what is needing to emerge and wanting to be expressed, rather than on creating technically complex works.

Initially subject matter will be explored through a contemplative collaborative poetry making process. We will then move into the work by harvesting the images/words that emerged through this process. Demonstrations on surface treatments and transfer techniques are threaded throughout the workshop including individual time with the instructor. Participants will create their own mixed-media piece(s) depending on each artist’s way of working. In addition to the materials found on the materials list, participants are invited to bring personally meaningful objects, images and materials with them to have available for their own use as the creative process unfolds.

Everyone welcome. No art experience necessary.
