Personal Enrichment & Awareness
through Art as Process
Code: GE-001
This course is designed to encourage optimal creative and personal growth by emphasizing process and awareness rather than an end product. Initially the sessions form a series of experimental exercises and discussions using a variety of techniques. The students are led into an intense and subjective dialogue with their own art responses, exploring and rediscovering innate creative expression and perceptual sensitivity. The approach is open-ended, intuitive and student orientated. Although the course does not focus on the product, drawing skills and the unique visual ‘fingerprints’ of individual students are naturally fostered and developed.
Becoming self-aware through the creative process give students access to their inner vision and unique insight. Mixed media drawing by Talitha Els from an adult art session.
The course is designed for both beginners and skilled artists who are interested in and wish to better understand the creative and visual process.
Classes will be taught by Gillian Conry-Taylor.

March 25, 2010  Art Portfolio Critique Sessions
CS-001
These sessions offer artists and students the opportunity to bring their work (drawings, and/or paintings, photographs, small sculptures) for peer-review and constructive critique.
Sessions are tailor-made to suit the requirements of the student or artist. One on one assistance may be given to matriculants or tertiary students in portfolio and concept development. Alternatively, two experienced artists and lecturers may lead the discussion. Participants will be assisted in ways to strengthen their work, resolve technical and formal problems and expand their creative vision. Participants will be encouraged to join in open, frank discussion and constructive critical analysis.
Each three-hour session is limited to the portfolio work of five or six participants but an additional limited number of interested persons may attend the sessions and participate in the discussion. The sessions are open to artists of all levels of experience.
The number of Critique Sessions held per month will depend on demand.
Duration of session and costs will be determined by the type of session, how many participants there are and how many lecturers are present.
