Instinct-Based Art Making Workshop with shane lowder
November 16 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us in the Art Studio located in the Towne Center from 2 – 4 PM on Saturday, November 16th, for an exclusive workshop with PTP artist-in-residence shane lowder. Drawing on his background as an artist and a poet, shane will share insights into his creative process and techniques, and guide you through the process of making intuitive-based art with the use of chalk.
“I have spent the last three years developing an art practice based on instinct and experience. Learning how to make creative decisions without the use of a labored choice. During this workshop, I will teach you how to trust your gut and rely on your already-learned experiences to make spontaneous, weird, and surprising art.” – shane lowder
Instinct
a: a largely inheritable and unalterable tendency of an organism to make a complex and specific response to environmental stimuli without involving reason
b: behavior that is mediated by reactions below the conscious level
