Join the Visual Art League of Lewisville for its monthly general meeting at Lewisville Grand Theater. Each month in conjunction with the general meeting, VAL produces an “Art Talk” series of known speakers and art demonstrations that are free and open to the public.
This month, join us for an engaging evening with Christine K. Miller, a fiber artist, teacher, and author, for a presentation called “Powered Up Practice.”
The visual arts are a dynamic, exciting place for individual expression and the communication of important ideas to viewers of art. Christine will introduce you to Studio Thinking, a set of 8 Studio Habits of Mind that will strengthen your own art making and take you deeper into your creative process. There is a free download of this resource on Christine’s website.
Attendees will learn:
- The habits of artists
- How artists make decisions when there is no right or wrong.
- Which Studio Habits do artists already use consciously, and which habits can be strengthened.
- Working with the Studio Habits is a deliberate way individuals can power up their artistic practice!
