Yes, there will be a number of activities which will help inspire creativity. A major goal of the group is to help artists move away from the clutter of everyday life and to create artwork on their own terms. Class Meetings, Video Demonstrations, community Forums, and resources are all designed to help you find inspiration, follow your intuition, and create personal work which you are proud of. There are several open-ended Assignments and many Exercises which can be repeated indefinitely – all optional and to be taken at your own speed and order. There are 28-Day Challenges which help you build confidence through rhythm and repetition. These focus on taking you out of your comfort zone in order to provoke creativity and perhaps, to help you discover the next step in your creative journey. And, lot’s more…
