Come form an experimental, hands-on, creative art project group. Our goal, in this collaborative project group, is to create a body of artwork that explores the theme of Inspiration. We are organizing and creating an exhibition of our work, as well as publishing it in a book and on this website. We experiment with all forms of the arts including, but not limited to, brainstorming, drawing, writing, poetry, clay, cartooning, multimedia, video, acting improve, discussions, interviews, field trips, as well as web and computer technology, etc., to thematically explore the nature of Inspiration.
Goals
• Meet Other Creative People
Spark our creativity and have fun creating, collaborating and sharing in a creative arts group.
• In-depth exploration of Inspiration
By exploring our inspiration from many angles, ideally, we will find ways to tap into it more readily. We can share our insights into the nature of Inspiration with each other and an audience.
• Create an Art Exhibition
The group is organizing an art exhibition on the theme of inspiration.
• Create a Curriculum
We work at developing a creative process and curriculum that can be applied to exploring any human spirit/value using a wide variety of art forms and techniques. Some other future themes to explore could be; imagination, creativity, sorrow, grief, joy, fear, justice, peace, etc.
• Get published
Edwin and Joan are working on an art book on the theme of Inspiration. Activities and artwork from the group may be used in the book. We may also create a video on the theme.
Format
• Cost
The only cost is for the meeting space and to cover any materials we use. i.e., art supplies, paper, etc. This is about $5 per meeting. No fee is charged for leading or facilitating the group. Thanks to the kindness of the people of Durant Center, we pay a very reasonable $25 for the meeting space for 3 hours.
• Experiment and Create
We do creative art activities at each meeting that explore and express the nature of "Inspiration". We experiment with and create different art activities.
• Group members facilitate meetings
Everyone in the group has the opportunity to create and lead an art activity. Do you have an art form/activity you would like to share with the group, or is there an art form you always wanted to try? Here's a chance to share it.
Who Should Attend?
• Everyone is welcome.
We especially encourage Artists and Educators to become involved. No previous art experience is required.
Other Details
• Bring and Show your Creative Work
Feel free to bring any of your creative work to share with the group. We have a time where anyone can show creative projects they are working on.
• Call For Submissions
Can't make it to the meetings? You can still submit your artwork, stories, poetry for inclusion in our Inspiration Exhibition.
• Art Release Form
Parts of the meetings will be video/audio taped, so the signing of an art release form is required to participate. This also gives permission for us to use works created in the group on the website, newsletter, art exhibit, and other mediums with appropriate credit/byline given to the creator.
My Comment: I had thinking why we don't have such society in Malaysia, so that we can illumine more and more creative people. In Malaysia, we lack on the creative genius (I think). In the movement of the society, everyone is thinking send their child into a better school to get a excellence result. And this will make many parent ignore the talent of their children. I hope all the parents can give a chance for their child to learn the interest stuff but not just the STUDY!!!
