Class Content: Kick start 2024 with a deep dive into the Subconscious! Have you ever had a dream that opened your world — untangling a difficult situation, explaining a complex emotion, or pointing to a better path? Our Soul communicates with us through intuition, imagery, story, and symbols — making artwork and dreamwork treasure troves for higher guidance.
Learn how to use collage to unlock the wisdom of the subconscious mind and discover the gifts that accompany this contemplative practice. Using randomly selected images from magazines, you’ll quickly construct a series of dreamscapes loaded with personal messages and instructive symbols.
Learn to:
• Use a simple meditation practice to relax the mind and activate higher wisdom
• Intuitively select images, assemble a story, and collage dreamscapes with subtle meaning
• Decode the imagery in your dreamscapes to reveal their innate guidance
• Rekindle the connection to your unconscious and subconscious mind through art
• Use imagery to gain clarity on challenges or opportunities
• Unleash creativity and overcome blockages for greater well-being
If you can cut and paste and have a thirst for exploring your inner realm, this class is for you! No art experience is necessary. In fact, we don’t even care if our artwork is pretty, because we will be mining for meaning more than beauty. So, let loose! You will have an opportunity to produce and interpret three 5 x 8 dreamscapes.
Supply List: Bring your own scissors! I will provide the rest of the materials (substrates, glue, magazines, and protective sleeves)
Biography: I love to create with paper — cut, torn, sliced, ripped, painted, and reassembled. I am particularly drawn to the imagery and malleable nature of magazines and painted papers. Images originally meant to convey one message in a magazine can be used to communicate something entirely new in a work of art. An automobile advertisement might become part of a face. A face might become part of an abstract image. Disparate images can be used to tell a story or to extract personal meaning. Discovering hidden images embedded in collage creates a mystery that I simply can’t resist! I have been collaging for 15 years and never grow tired of it. Come explore with me.
