From creative writing to creating artwork - a class by an academic artist and researcher

From 25.15 £ /h

Have you ever wondered how to create artwork? What are the inspiration sources and processes that lead to thinking, sketching, and developing ideas for a visual work? How to understand your own thoughts and express them in a creative way, through writing and/or drawing?
This course will provide you with this knowledge and practice!
With this course, under the guidance of an experienced academic artist and researcher, you will develop theoretical, but, most of all, practical skills and tools for creating your own artwork: from a thought to a visual result.
The focus of this course is on creative writing exercises and artistic methods such as drawing, aquarelle, collage, photography, video art, and other multimedia. This will allow you to better understand practices of contemporary art and to participate from your own home.
We will create beautiful texts and poems, expressive sketches and creative maps, illustrative paintings, and photos.
The classes are tailored based on the student's needs and wishes, which means different creative exercises.
After creative writing, when we reach the visual process, the introduction and guidance for the practical skill of the desired medium will be offered.
This class is offered to anyone, no matter the level they have. As an artist with traditional art education, and contemporary art research degree, I believe I can help you regardless if it's for your own practice and interests, or if it's for an academic guidance.

About Me

I am a very passionate visual artist, with a focus on contemporary art practices and creative artistic methods. I've just finished Advanced Master's course in research in art and design in Antwerp, and I'm preparing for a doctoral research.
Throughout my practice, I was always working and creating together with people. Teaching and volunteering is a big part of my understanding of art, as I believe we should share the skills and knowledge we have. For some years, I was an assistant in an art atelier in Belgrade, where I had intensive drawing and painting classes for prospective students of an art academy. I held additional course with exercises in new media art, as well as a creative workshop for children. My methods are based on covering theoretical knowledge during practical exercises. Sharing the process and thoughts is also important, as well as me working together and next to students. I am always trying to stimulate creative thinking, courageous approaches and experimentation. Also, I think that creative practice should be exciting and out of the box.
