Do you notice anything Special about the door to room 22? The other door? As you look around the room, do you notice something extraordinary?
There is something rather special about 'room 22.' These doors open into Artist's Open Studio, a special environment where each of YOU are in charge of whatever world you create.
YOU make the rules. YOU decide what rules to follow--what rules to break.
That's different from the REAL WORLD outside these doors. Those rules broken and mistakes made often impose a severe penalty.
Inside these doors You have Artist's Open Studio. You should dare to make a mistake.
How can you use this Special environment? You have 7 weeks in this term.
Decide on an overall GOAL.
- Complete one painting.
- Complete seven paintings.
- Learn a new technique.
Each week has 3 hours. Have a PROCESS--a series of steps to follow--so each 3-hour period will be productive.
Having this system of steps gives you a system to enrich your art. You just vary any step to add something new.
Welcome to Artist's Open Studio.
ARTIST--to be an artist is to exercise the tremendous power of creativity.
OPEN--There is no limit to what you can create--just your imagination.
STUDIO--space to work in--a collaboration. By sharing energy and ideas.
Use your sketchbook to collect and nourish these ideas.
Jorgen Hansen quoted the Sufi philosopher:
Tear the bindings from the laces on your feet
so that you may run free ahead of the pack.
