This course
addresses how hard it can be to ‘be creative’ – how difficult it is to confront
the empty page. By completely ignoring it (yes!) and focusing on materials,
tools, methods, elements and by playing our way forward, you will gain
confidence and a toolbox that makes it fun and easy to get started, and to stay
in the creative flow. We will experiment and create each session.
1.
Introductions. Getting to know lots of
materials, tools and methods. And doing lots of exercises to explore them.
Voilà! Mini creations.
2. Making
choices. Various elements of creative expression are presented and broken down
so that it becomes easier to make decisions about formats and content, and to
understand what stories they tell.
3. Finding
treasure. Working big and small at the same time. This is all about learning to
see.
4. Reuse.
There are no mistakes and nothing is wasted. Here we find uses for what was
discarded and repurpose it to create a book for further creative work.
Materials included (200, - DKK)
Shelley is an architect, researcher and teacher. She
has degrees in design, architecture and urbanism from Ryerson University in
Toronto, and from the Aarhus Architecture School. She has over 25 years of
experience teaching architecture and workshops that tap into creativity – often
in unusual and surprising ways. Her focus is on bringing to the surface and
activating the creative potential we all have inside of us.
