1. Lynn Taylor: Navigating Your Artistic Landscape - Mentorship Class - $396
/Monday 8 to Friday 12 January (free day on the Wednesday)
This course provides an opportunity to define your art practice by considering what sort of artist you are and how you want to go forward. There are multiple online courses which offer professional artistic advice, but they primarily focus on increasing sales and marketing. Making a sale is wonderful of course but not necessarily the most important driver for a lot of us.
Let’s explore what motivates you and how we can adapt and stay current within our rapidly changing society. Let’s collaboratively investigate HOW TO: structure stages of a project/ a body of work, create studio spaces, network, use social media, shift perspectives (eg keep working when you have artistic block), encourage sustainable practices and identify your community of practice.
Bring your individual print projects to work on. If you have nothing in progress, bring an idea/ photo/ sketch etc. We will have access to a printing press, but you’ll need to bring your own materials. We will also construct a simple book to contain our workshop meanderings.
Structure: The course will be formatted in 3 ways:
facilitated discussion and critiques where we all have input
exercises I present where you creatively respond through writing, making, thinking and
working on your own projects with input from myself in one-on-one sessions and optional group feedback.
Small research tasks prior to the class will be set to facilitate the aim of sharing our combined knowledge. For example, a photo of what works in your studio space and what doesn’t – more info will be given with your ‘What to bring’ sheet.
Feel free to ask me questions about a specific technique or something you want assistance with before the class as well – I’ll do my best!
