This week, we will explore the role of attention as an entry-point to how we consume and create art at any scale. Through shifting what we pay attention to and why, we understand how our work and processes can bend, shift, and grow.
We will co-create collective definitions of constructive critique before experimenting with the feedback process. Through giving and receiving critique, we create opportunities to see our work externally illuminated by the perspectives of others.
This week, we will be examining our personal habits and routines around creative practice, while learning how others build and maintain their artistic and technical processes. Together, we’ll start to unpack the impact of familiarity, fear, and form on our creative inclinations.
This week, we will be stretching and bending our projects beyond their initial constraints and limitations. Using play to shift or confirm ideas helps us better collaborate with ourselves, while solidifying the purpose, definition, process, and intention of our work.
To close, we will ground ourselves in our evolving yet maintainable creative practices. Through embracing the full range of creative processes, we recognize that creation happens as a non-linear act of excavation. In other words, keep digging until you find the thing that tells you to make something.
