Idea Development For Artists

Instructors: Jason Manley, Sterling Hundley, John English
Original Air Date: Oct. 10, 2009

For many artists, coming up with ideas and building upon them is sometimes a challenging and daunting process. This Saturday's program will answer many questions. Here are but a few of the many:

What are ways in which ideas can be crafted, layered, and presented so that the viewers seeing your work, or your clients or collectors, can feel and understand your piece? Where does one start? I'm stuck. How can I get past artist blocks? Ever get stuck not sure what to paint or where to begin? What can you do to build ideas which help strengthen your work and make you more effective as a creative person? How does idea layering work? What are some of the brainstorming techniques used by artists? How can I better organize my ideas so they can be communicated in both simple or complex visual narrative? How can I have my viewers or clients understand my work without my ideas seeming blatant, bland, or cliche? What processes can I use which will help me strengthen my idea development skills?

  • Dos Santos talking about the process! More of this!
