What’s Next on Life’s Playground: Using Art to Design Your Life

In-Person: Adult | Available

What are you yet to do in life? What does your life story suggest? Would engaging in your own artistic process help you answer some of these questions? Let’s find out. What from the past do you want to bring forward? Write and draw what you see. By selectively illustrating your life story you may soften memory and gain access to ideas and combination of ideas not yet seen. By looking at photos, film clips and selected art, you may find bits and pieces of roads not yet taken. As you get closer to hopes and values and the beat of time, energy quickens. What if you crafted storyboards that went from here to there? What if you did research, made calls, and saw parts of a desired future coming towards you? Try 3 weeks of it. What might happen? Bring some of your art tools and an object from a desired future.
