This low-stakes, open-ended creative process time is offered in a facilitated online community setting. Participants will be guided in ways that help to open to exploration, experimentation, process, and expression rather than focusing on trying to achieve a particular outcome or end product.
Through facilitated discussion, and gentle community guidelines, participants will be given the opportunity to share (or not share) their processes as they feel called to without judgement or feedback from others. Accessible and open-ended themes, inquiries, and portal-prompts will be offered to serve as jumping-off points. We’ll talk about what comes up for us as we create, and how the prompts and themes resonate with us with an attitude of curiosity and embracing the mystery and creative process.
No art experience necessary. This is a great class for people struggling to connect with their creativity (or think they don’t have any!), for folks whose creative processes need some new energy, and for anyone who wants to explore creativity in a community setting.
Participants should come to class with art supplies and a cleared space in front of their webcam to create. Suggested materials include at minimum; mixed-media paper (11x14 or larger suggested), and multicolored mark-making implements.
Paints (watercolor or tempera paints are great), markers, colored pencils, crayons, pastels, chalks, whatever you have around the house or pick up at a thrift or discount store is fine.
Please also bring paper and pen for writing (any kind of notebook or loose paper is fine), as we may do some brief writing experiments from time to time.
