Amaze yourself!

During this unique international art course I will teach you how to inspire yourself with examples of famous (still living!) international Artists. After we take a dip into their lifes and achievements, it is our turn to play and experiment with simular materials and techniques. Also I will stimulate you to get in contact with your own story and what is ready to be expressed through your personal Artworks.

What to expect during this course?

  • Inspiration & Experiment: Art is all about playing and experimenting with new ways of doing and thinking about life. It's more than just being creative. It is learning to open your heart and mind to infinite possibilities.

  • Creative proces: I wish I've revieved money for every time somebody told me; "I'm not creative!" I could retire now 😉 Creativity is in all of us only a few are brave enough to act on it. Yes you will make a mess, yes you can fail if you expect an other outcome of your work and oh yes you could feel a deep emotion while working on your own art... so yes it's a holistic proces and the question is; are you ready to embrace yourself?

  • The magic of sharing: You'll work on your own Art next to other students. I'll invite at the end of each course day if someone would like to share something about their work or proces. An other format of sharing in this Art course will be the exhibitionat the last course date.

Why should I participate?

  • Challenge your artistic capabilities: this course will inspire you to play and experiment with different techniques and Artforms
  • You'll get inspired by other international Artists: By presenting you with some amazing unique and famous Artist from around the world you will get inspirated to make your own Art!
  • No artistic experions needed: Anyone who loves to amaze themselves and feels joy in creative activity can join the course. Also it is necessary you speak and understand the English Language.

Kunst & Welzijn

De weldaad die ontstaat wanneer je in alle rust, samen met anderen, de veilige ruimte krijgt om jouw creativiteit tot uiting te brengen is ongekend. Wanneer je de ruimte leert voelen om te creeeren vanuit je hart ipv uit je hoofd dan onstaan er magische kunstwerken. Je komt in een flow zoals dit heet. Je hersenen maken allerlei gelukshormonen aan en maken daardoor weer meer nieuwe neurale verbindingen. Jouw neuroplasticiteit neemt toe!

Tijdens deze creatieve processen merk ik in groepsverband dat er vaak gesprekken en discussies met een bepaalde diepgang ontstaan. Er lijkt een ‘filter’ weg te vallen door de focus op het eigen kunstwerk. Deze eerlijke en open communicatie zorgt ervoor dat we gemakkelijker onze emoties en gedachten kunnen delen met de ander. Ook draagt het soms bij aan het vergroten van het sociale netwerk van de deelnemers. De fysieke groepsworkshops helpen ons ook weer te herinneren aan ons menszijn en dat we sociale dieren zijn. Onze tijd en aandacht wordt meer en meer opgeslokt door allerlei beeldschermen en de gelukshormonen komen nu juist voort uit de betekenisvolle verbinding met jezelf en anderen.
