Thea Kovac:
"The Secret Life of Artists"
--Cultivating an Artistic Practice
Workshop, October 23, 2011
10 - 4 pm
LYNDEN SCULPTURE GARDEN
http://www.lyndensculpturegarden.org/
What does an artist experience before and after completing a work of art? Together we will explore the workings of an artistic practice as well as ways to keep it alive. Through lecture, discussion, and playful exercises, we will analyze the cyclic nature of the creative process, matching specific attitudes and activities to its predictable seasons. We will discover how to cultivate a fertile imagination, work through “blocks,” build internal and external support systems for our artistic efforts, and integrate creative work into the demands of daily life. Active, inactive, and aspiring visual artists and writers are welcome, as well as those who are curious about human creativity. No artistic experience required.
Bring notebook or paper for taking notes, writing instrument, and a set of 6 colored markers. Also bring a bag lunch and beverage and outdoor clothing.
