Course Description

Overview

Are you sometimes stuck in your mind and does your creativity seem to have left the building? Whatever your creative medium is, this short class is here for you.

I see creativity as a main source of liveliness, a way to discover the world around us and a way to explore ourselves. 

In this class, I’ll introduce five tools for reviving free and expressive creativity. You will be using photography for the exercises/tools. And when you put the tools into practice enough, you will develop effective habits. These will help you with any form of creative expression and you will never be stuck again.

The class is set up as a personal exploration. You will take photos and you will write in your journal. For a quick boost you can do one assignment daily, or spread it out over a longer period. You determine how fast, or slow, you want to go. If you want to learn new creative habits, I suggest you repeat the exercises, until you find you are doing them spontaneously.
