Art history for Artists, Designers, and Creators! Built to inspire and teach the skills great masters have taught us 😉 History builds us, and it is much more than what museums have to show us! It tells stories of struggle, discovery, and -why not – art gossip! To know the roots, in ways that *truly* connect to the way we work and grow authentically, is the best way to develop our own art, with clarity and self-awareness.
This course is designed for all levels, no matter your craft or creative path. Through these short lessons, you will learn:
– About the beginnings of abstract and automatic art! The evolution of consciousness toward complete creative freedom
– The study of forces beyond the visible dimension during the 20th century.
– How art merged with a rigorous scientific method, in an art highly intellectualized.
– The goal that many artists share: self-transcendence and the joy of feeling connected to one’s own creation.
Thank you for choosing to learn with me, and remember: history shapes us!
Who this course is for:
- Artists, designers, creatives in general, anyone interested in the history of art and its most relevant characters!
