Drawing the Unconscious


Use dreams, meditation, and ink blots as creative launching pads for mixed-media art practice


More details

In this course, students will be encouraged to connect to their unconscious through a daily drawing exercise. Students explore what happens when they try to let go of conscious thinking and work more intuitively in their art practice. During classes, students will practice automatic drawing (similar to what the Surrealists were doing in the 1920s), free-form drawing and 'no-editing' exercises. The creation of ink blots and doodling will be used as starting points for picture making. The course will also include meditation exercises and drawing inspired from dreams. Drawing materials and process will focus on mixed media and collage. By doing this work, students will explore what lies below the surface in their unconscious while finding new images and techniques for their art practice. This class is ideal for those who love to draw and are curious to see what new images might come up during these explorations. Suitable for all levels. TUESDAYS, JAN 12 - APR 06, 6PM - 9PM(PDT) IN-PERSON
