Art isn’t just a practice—it’s a habit. This course encourages students to integrate creativity into their daily lives through structured exercises, prompts, and discussions on process over perfection. By studying artistic practices from different historic periods, we will examine how artists across time have incorporated daily rituals into their work. Students will also explore a range of materials and techniques, allowing them to experiment and develop their own creative routines. Whether you’re returning to art after a long break or looking to establish a new creative habit, this course provides the tools and inspiration to make art a fulfilling and sustainable part of everyday life.
Key Topics:
- Overcoming creative blocks and self-doubt
- Examining artistic routines and rituals from different time periods
- Experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques
- The role of repetition and improvisation in art-making
- Developing a personal creative philosophy
