Whether you are a creative or an appreciator of the arts, explore how to enrich your life and thinking by opening up your creative resources in this six-session seminar course. Look at Eastern and Western theories of the creative process in terms of the source, purpose and mechanics of creativity and its effect on the creator, the viewer, and society. Study the words of a wide range of creative people, developing a greater understanding of creativity and the thought process. This course is participatory, life-changing and fun.
The six meetings include discussions of assigned readings, instructor presentations, and hands-on artmaking. You will have opportunities to play and explore without worrying about the product. Journal about your creative ideas, contemplations, and reflections on the readings. At home pursue an original creative project in an unfamiliar medium of your choice.
Sherri Silverman is a mostly self-taught visual artist with a doctorate in Creativity, the Arts, and the Sacred/Application of Asian Concepts. She first developed and taught this course for the Honors Programs at University of North Florida and University of New Mexico, where students said it changed their lives.
Over fifty years of meditation practice informs her energy and approach to art. Her explorations of inner being, consciousness, and nature have led to paintings, pastels, and mixed media art that evoke happiness, serenity, and expansiveness. Sherri’s work is on permanent display in the New Mexico Capitol Art Collection and is included in the book 100 Artists of the Southwest.
