When you understand your own creative practice, everything falls into place. We are able to trust our intuition, playfully explore our interests, narrow focus where necessary, communicate our intentions to others, and follow up on complex projects. This interactive workshop will teach you how to use brainstorming and mind mapping to enlarge your fields of thought and action. Participants will also learn to ask questions to create clarity about the determining stimulus behind a project idea which will enable you to choose and develop ideas. These practices will help you gain confidence and clarity about your practice and understand obstacles, limitations, or pressure as tools that enhance creativity.
During this session we will analyze other artists’ decision-making processes, engage in (short) individual in-class activities, and exchange ideas in a group discussion. It is designed for creative practitioners who want to embark on an expedition, expand ideas, shape specific projects, and make sense of their unique creative path as a whole.
