Description

Ranging from mindfulness meditation and movement awareness to Shaker cabinet making and multimedia interventions, a wide range of contemplative practices offer a rich resource for understanding, generating and evaluating creative practices in art and design.

Grounded in a commitment to being present to oneself, to others, and to the process of making, this studio-based course enables students to develop knowledge of, and skills in, a range of contemplative methods used by artists and designers to address every phase of the creative process from initial conception through design development and critical reflection on process and product.

Drawing on evidence-based research, the course provides students with skills and a supportive secular environment in which to acquire a powerful resource that can be applied to every area of professional and personal development.
