Ever wonder where good ideas come from? Do you like to figure things out? Are you a hands-on/minds-on learner? This course explores the way we think; the way we create; and the way we communicate about our world through art. In this personalized educational experience, learners will develop their ability to problem-solve, generate innovative ideas, research multiple disciplines, and create original works of art.
Drawing upon research into contemporary artists’ awareness of how multiple disciplines impact their work -- and exploring how art spans many different media, techniques, and styles -- learners will be challenged to choose the media that will best articulate their conceptual vision.
With a focus on how we learn; the creative process; studio habits of mind; and artistic behaviors, learners will engage in the development and execution of their ideas. Workshops and instruction will be provided based on the learners’ individual interests, supporting each student’s journey towards their completed work.
