|
Art as Meditation |
Art & Consciousness Workshop / STX
studio
Drawing from life requires the individual to focus. Learned drawing skills (and they are skills, not gifts one is born with) allow an individual to move from a left brain, time oriented, self absorbed, active, beta brain state to one more receptive, inclusive, and slower in frequency. There are biofeedback programs for youth with Attention Deficit Disorder that help children with this syndrome to recognize when they are performing in a lower frequency brain state. Drawing is a skill that addresses ATTENTION, strengthening the Intuitive. |

Art as Appropriation |
Art & Consciousness Workshop / STX
studio
Image making
involves an individual with the total self.
It reflects all aspects of the individual’s knowledge,
intellectual and emotional, learned and inherent, conscious and
unconscious. When
knowledge is combined with new information, associations
are expanded and understanding is broadened.

|
Art as Visualization |
Art & Consciousness Workshop / STX
studio
Scientific studies of the brain have proven that the same parts of the brain that are actively involved in recognition of a place or person are also active whether the individual is mentally visualizing the image of the person or place or actually seeing the person or place. Seeing with the mind’s eye can be encouraged and improved through art experiences. Seeing with the mind’s eye strengthens commitment that improves confidence of expression. |

|
Art & Creativity |
Art & Consciousness Workshop / STX studio
Creativity is the act of moving beyond the already established into new realms. Creativity can take an individual into areas of awareness totally new to a society or extend an individual’s understanding, preparing him/her for productive change. Participants in this section of the workshop will take a creativity test and evaluate themselves in terms of eight aspects of the creative individual. |
|||||
|
Art and Intention |
Art & Consciousness Workshop /
STX studio
In
the artistic process, the act of creative decision-making
requires self-awareness. Self-awareness
leads to self-discovery. Each
completed work of art can lead to an idea for another
work. Eventually,
the very endeavor of working creatively leads to having an
intention prior to beginning the piece.
If an individual can recognize and complete an intention
in their art, they can transfer that concept to life.
Thus, an individual can learn to live with intention. |

|
Art & Transformation |
Art & Consciousness Workshop / STX
studio
When an individual begins to recognize and resolve artistic issues on paper, it will naturally follow that one will be able to recognize and solve problems in life. Successful problem solving strengthens confidence in one’s ability to make changes on a transformational level. Scientific studies of the frontal lobal area of the brain have lead to the conclusion that this section of the brain is involved in the ability of persons to see consequences of their actions. To be able to see consequences of one’s actions is a result of successful problem solving. New studies have shown that this area of the brain is activated through meditation, giving a sense of peace and compassion. It is my belief that this is also the area of the brain that is involved in psychic intuitive knowledge. Further studies have revealed that this area of the brain increases in gray matter at several stages of an individual’s life. One of those stages of increased gray matter is during adolescence. However, if the increased gray matter is not used, it decreases again in size. The artistic process strengthens all of the frontal lobal capacities. |
