Class Description
This class is for folks who want to expand their imagination and introspection. Participants will bring their art medium of choice (painting, drawing, writing, poetry, fiber arts, etc.) and create a small piece every week. Tiffany will lead the group through a meditative visualization and open art making sessions with prompts. Each week will be grounded in a color that will open up memories, ideas, and visual motifs that will invite curiosity and playfulness. Naturally, there will be creative blocks and growth edges—Tiffany will address ways to maneuver through them. Active participation in discussing folk’s creative processes is highly encouraged.
Tiffany Wong (she/her) is a Chinese interdisciplinary artist committed to exploring collective liberation through creativity. She believes that art is a powerful medium for embodied connection with both the self and the collective. Creative fulfillment comes from living a life that integrates honesty, integrity, and curiosity. Learn more about Tiffany’s work on her website.
All virtual classes are recorded and made available to participants registered in the class. These recordings are password-protected and available for up to two weeks after the class ends.
