Tell me if this sounds like you:
You're tired of just taking random art classes and drawing a bunch of still-lifes. You want to make work that is about your own ideas, in your own voice. But you're not quite sure how to make this leap.
Developing a creative process is the tool that will help you get there. A process helps you think about your work as happening within stages, each one with its own set of intentions. With a process you’re less likely to get overwhelmed, engage in self-sabotage, or abandon ideas before they've had a chance to develop.
In this workshop, we’ll discuss the 5-stages of the creative process and how you can use this framework to move your work forward. You'll get to talk about your specific roadblocks with Creative Coach, Christine Garvey and work through them in the session.
