(April 7 will be a make up date)
This 12-week course is designed to take participants on a journey of discovering and recovering their creative self. It is intended for everyone, from working creatives to untapped creatives to people just looking to make a meaningful shift in their lives (not just for artists). It is a self-reflective program that maintains space and time for participants to intentionally explore aspects of themselves through creative processes alongside one another. Each week participants are introduced to a focused theme and guided in a creative experiential activity to explore and process the theme, while learning specific art techniques, including watercolor, movement/dance/drawing, oil painting, bookmaking. Themes include: safety, identity, personal power, integrity, possibility, abundance, connection, strength, compassion, self-protection, autonomy, faith. This course is directly inspired by The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, an experiential book intended to teach people to process life through acts of creativity. The course is led by Alice Struck, Julie Ashlock, Nancy Lohmiller and Kate Mann. All leaders are experienced in the Artist’s Way and in understanding the transformational nature of art; however this course should not be seen as therapy or a substitute for it.
Student materials needed: The Artist’s Way book (not workbook) by Julia Cameron and 1 Sketchbook (unlined, approximately 9 x12” or larger). Most other art supplies are included in the course fee. Please contact Kerry at 262.375.3676 or kerry@artmusichistory.org with questions.
