Art and Fear at Prairiewoods Mondays, February 6, 13, 20, 27, 9:30–11 a.m. Fear can hold us back. Sometimes fear can be a good and healthy response—we don’t jump
off roofs for fear of spraining or breaking parts of ourselves. Other times it prevents us from taking a step in the right
direction, or any step at all. You know, of course, that nagging feeling that you should be doing something, but since you
are not sure of the outcome, you keep yourself from even starting the task. Artist and teacher Michelle Fischer, who is leading
the Advancing Along Our Creative and Spiritual Journey classes in January, will also teach this series of classes
in February at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). Michelle will help you explore why art gets made, as well
as the reasons art often doesn’t get made. As a guide, she will use the book Art & Fear by David
Bayles and Ted Orland. Right from the start, the authors remind us that: “art making involves skills that can be learned.
The conventional wisdom here is that while ‘craft’ can be taught, ‘art’ remains a magical gift bestowed
only by the gods. Not so” (Art and Fear, page 3). This book will be required reading for this class and is
available in the Prairiewoods Gift Shop. This class is part of the Finding Meaning through Creativity series at Prairiewoods
and will be a good fit for creatives of all sorts, but will particularly appeal to visual artists. So, if you are ready to
work but wondering how to get started, or know that your project needs something and are afraid to push it further, come to
this class and get prepared to move forward in your art-making processes. The cost is $15 per class or $51 for the four-week
series (paid by February 6). For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at 319-395-6700 or www.Prairiewoods.org. |
