How to Find and Develop Your ARTISTIC VOICE
Every artist has a story to tell, but finding the core of what drives your work can be hard. Discover your one-of-a-kind perspective in this live and interactive event. Learn how to explore the 'why' behind your art and shape that into your strong, authentic voice.
Join Mastrius Mentors Sue Dion & Steve Puttrich to discuss how to use inspiration and narrative to create clarity around your creative direction and stand out in the art world. They will discuss personal inspiration and narrative as a way to gain clarity on your creative direction and how to make your work stand out in the art world.
We will dive deep into the fundamental question, “Why do I create?” and you’ll walk away understanding the answer for yourself.
You will learn:
- WHY you create and how it informs and strengthens your artistic voice.
- How personal experiences and inspirations shape how and what you create.
- Techniques and tips for discovering and defining your artistic voice.
- How experimenting and taking creative risks develop your voice.
Once you understand WHY you create, you’ll be ready to refine your artistic practice.
As always, Mastrius events are LIVE & INTERACTIVE!
