Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Don’t - ever - get stuck again. In this class, you will learn simple ways to sustain innovation in your work so you can continually inspire yourself and create fresh, inventive work!
Noah Scalin is an artist, author, educator, and activist who is dedicated to helping trailblazers in every industry expand their capacity to create. He is internationally known for creating awe-inspiring art and illustrations from everyday objects as well as his 365 Skull-A-Day project. But it all started when he felt stuck, annoyed with clients, unmotivated and not doing the work he knew he was capable of doing. In this class, he explains how one small action became a generative practice that has radically changed how he thinks about his creativity and transformed his art and life.
You will be challenged to experiment with materials and techniques differently as he takes you through a series of short exercises that challenge you to:
- Dream Small
- Perfection Is Overrated
- Make Friends with Limitations
- Work with the Unexpected
- Expand Your Default Settings
- Inspiration Is Everywhere
In 6 short lessons, you will generate a series of images that may radically depart from your current style but open up new possibilities and pathways to explore. This is all about innovating and finding totally new and unexpected approaches you may not otherwise consider.
