Art as Process - Session 1

Art as Process is a non-credit studio course designed for anyone—seasoned artists, curious beginners, and everyone beyond. This class invites participants to explore creative expression through movement, experimentation, and material play, focusing not on a final product but on the unfolding experience of making.

Together, we’ll break away from the pressure of perfection and final products to dive into what it means to create without expectation. Each week will offer a new prompt, material, or sensory trigger—encouraging students to follow instinct, embrace mess, and trust the process. In our final session, we’ll gather for a communal reflection and supportive critique, celebrating discoveries and exchanging feedback from a place of curiosity and generosity.
