Meeting Resistance: Adaptations for Studio-Perseverance
Week 4 | M, W, F | Pier Building Classroom | Ages 14 and up
Start making art, or keep making art, amidst the chaos of everyday life. "Resistance" — the many ways in which mundane life, fatigue, self-sabotage, burn-out, etc. can slow down or block artists from working. This class explores both solo and collaborative strategies for continuing to work around resistance, as keeping yourself working consistently in the studio — in whatever form your "studio" takes — is the heart of any art practice.
Class Times
Please come to class prepared with the following materials:
- Bring source materials: Images you like to work from. (For example: images of family and friends, architecture, plants, animals, textures, designs- these can be physical or digital.)
