This 5 week workshop uses writing and language to break out of creative blocks. We will make lists, use automatic writing and other such methodology to generate new ideas, overcome the idea of right and wrong answers. We will look at artists like Martin Brief, who repeatedly wrote as a meditative practice, commenting on religion. We will look at Charlotte Moorman whose notes on scraps of paper, letters, diary entries were recently exhibited at the Block Museum in Evanston, IL. We will consider the writing as a tool for reflection in personal art practice. We will arrive at a place of renewed confidence, armed with personalized strategies for continuous inspiration and art making.
