Process art or intuitively led creativity is an approach to art making that focuses on working with the materials and methods as a way to play, feel restored, and gain experience and insight. In process art, we do not focus on the end product as a goal, but rather the wisdom and technical skill acquired by the act of . Additionally, leading with one's intuition can help access unconscious or "hidden" aspects of self that often provide amazing results in terms of healing, personal growth, finding one's expressive language or "voice", and insight into places in our lives where we might feel stuck, uninspired, or disconnected.
In this way, process + intuitive approaches lend themselves to a valuable ongoing creative practice that anyone can do. Plus, it's just plain fun to fool around with art and craft materials!
This session, guided by a trained professional in the Expressive Arts and/or Art Therapy, will help you learn the basics of how to get started with a process or intuitive art piece, ways of sourcing and generating ideas or themes to work on, and how to develop these ideas and themes into a complete art piece. You will be guided on how to explore with mixed media materials, as well as deal with moments of frustration or "losing one's way", and how to turn blocks into opportunities to see further into the process.
The session will end with a chance to discuss each individual's experiences, share their work and receive observations from the group, as desired.
