Workshop: The Hand/Mind Connection

  • Annex Arts 8 Water Street Castine, ME 04421 USA (map)

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN - LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE

Description from the artist-in-residence, Eliza Day Green:

This course is one I started to teach online at the beginning of the Pandemic.  I was finding such solace working in my studio at that time but was hearing from friends and fellow artists that they were struggling.  I felt a daily creative practice that focused on intuitive processes to relieve stress and anxiety.  Excellent for beginners or seasoned artists looking for a creative reset. 

During my two-week art residency at Annex Arts I would like to offer one of the sessions that I cover in my five-week course.  

Intuitive Collage:  A process that lets you enjoy material and manipulation without being overanalytical.  I love “intuitive collage” because it does not require traditional art training to be successful. It offers a level creative playing field. This exercise will always tell you something that you do not yet know about yourself.  It communicates a “growth edge” that can be a spark for many creative endeavors. 

Materials:  All materials will be provided but I suggest you bring a sketchbook/notebook for warm-up exercises and note-taking along with your favorite pen.
