Painting Into Your Bright Shadow

Learn to play with your bright shadow as a resource for creative energy through transformational, large format painting. This approach creates deep encounters with archetypes that can change how you perceive yourself. Use a somatic approach through the intimate energies of mark making and the use of color, shape, and texture, and explore various tools and collage. Focus on body sensations, rather than your mental perceptions. This is a playful empowering experience for beginners, and can offer the opportunity to loosen habitual techniques and perspectives for more advanced students. With an emphasis on play and experimentation you will stretch old concepts as you explore the creative process. You will take home your large format painting of mixed media collage and markings as an expression of your personal journey through the creative process.
Your materials fee includes the paint you will use, paper, and your substrate. You will have access to more marking implements and templates.
