Visual Arts Workshops

Most of us are visually oriented. Before we could speak, we thought in images. The soul speaks symbolically through images. (like in our dreams). We have many images stored within us. Creating art is a way to express our inner images and feelings.

How do I choose the material or art form?  Listen, how do you feel right now? Do you need a 3D quality-to wrap your hand around, such as clay? Do you like form such as dolls or masks? Do you want watercolors for flow or acrylics for their versatality?  How about healing colors, like stained glass. Maybe you would like to smash tiles for mosaics?

Where does inspiration come from? It comes from the space that is formless. Facing the blank page can feel like a void. Approach it with abandonment, like a child. Always start with the breath. Feel your feet on the ground, be alert as in an athletic stance, knees bent. Connect with your sensations. Begin moving, swaying until you feel impelled to go to the material.  This could be paint, clay, found objects, paper and pen. Go to the material that is calling you.
