Description:
The biggest enemy of creative thinking is the fear of judgment. In the workshops we will not worry about whether something is pretty or well drawn, and we will not teach “correct” drawing. We will allow ourselves “ugly” creating — focused on enjoying the process of painting rather than the final result. We will search for elements of nature in the museum collections and consider how they would look in their natural environment. We will practice noticing beauty in what is modest, unexpected, and “ugly.”
