Do you like to know in advance what you're doing and prepare for it, or do you prefer to respond intuitively to a surprise task?
In this block you'll be presented with 4 open-ended prompt words each week.
Two of these prompts will be given out in advance so that you can choose one as your inspiration and then research, work out what your response is going to be and gather materials before class.
Alternatively, you can wait to be told the other two prompts at the start of the class; again choosing one of them as your inspiration, your response will be more intuitive, and limited by what materials are available.
Both approaches are valid, and you can vary yours from week to week if you want.
A technical focus, such as perspective, will also be suggested at the start of each session to keep you learning and practising.
WEEK 1
Words for those who want to prepare: “time and tide” or “gem”
