Course Description

Overview

Want to learn how to overcome your creative block and find inspiration anytime you need it?

Join me artist, illustrator, and designer Masho to go on a quest to find your muse based on simple techniques and turn the newly-discovered inspiration into beautiful illustrations!

We will start by doing simple warm-up exercises, then we will observe surroundings together, while I will show and tell my ways to detect inspiration. Lastly, we will play around with words, colors, and shapes that will inspire us to create illustrations and other artworks.

The class is for any creative searching to find ways to overcome the creative block and find the muse anytime and anywhere needed. 

Skills you will develop -  imagination, illustration, conception, and decision-making.

Here are the recommended tools for the class:

  • Paper
  • Pen / Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Watercolors or any other water-based paints
  • Brushes

Nice to have tools:

  • Printer
  • Camera (you can also use a smartphone)
  • Adobe Photoshop or Procreate for iPad

This class will show the students that you don’t need to wait for the muse to come to you, but likewise the famous quote, “If the mountain won’t go to Mohammed, then Mohammed must come to the Mountain” - you can find the muse yourself. It’s not necessary to have a big idea to be creative. The processes and techniques demonstrated in the videos can serve students as a new tool for detecting inspiration.
