3D Arts

Each of us is creative and has something meaningful to share with others. In her recent book, It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again, based on her groundbreaking, The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron explores creativity in midlife and beyond. Retirement can be a richly rewarding experience, a time to revisit previous dreams, begin new projects and rewrite our futures. In Part I of this course, we will focus on the first half of the book, chapters one through six, as we kindle the creative spirit through four basic practices: daily morning pages, weekly artist dates, twice-weekly solo walks and a weekly in-class guided process to trigger and record memories that could develop into a memoir written in manageable chunks. Julia Cameron says all it takes to rediscover creativity are passion, commitment and the courage to be a beginner. Each class meeting will include time for sharing experiences, goals and individual journeys to nurture personal creativity and inspire others.

The Growth of Abstraction 1950-Present is the second part of the course that introduced the exciting and controversial twentieth century art world as artists moved away from representational to abstract work. In the previous class we studied the major artists and movements that introduced a departure from portraying reality and instead focused on using color, shape, form and line to capture their inner spirit and achieve their effect. In this followup course, we will start with Abstract Expressionism and continue studying the variations in this style through contemporary mainstream and fringe multicultural abstract artists, including the San Francisco School, the Bay Area Abstract Expressionists, The New York School, the Taos Moderns, Native American Painters and Northwest Artists. We will examine the work in relation to concurrent historical, social and technological developments. In addition, we will review the terminology and language of abstraction to better describe, understand and analyze the works we study. Textbook, World of Art: Abstract Art, Anna Moszynska, 2020.
