Keeping the Channels Open: Infusing Your Practice with Mindfulness with Joanne Dugan (Online Learning – Five Sessions)

About

Online Learning

Recent advances in technology and social media make photography accessible to everyone. There are overwhelming numbers of images that bombard us on a daily basis, distracting us from our own voice. Yet meaningful art making is often a more slow and solitary practice, made while gently reflecting on our own unique life path and interests.

In this new class you will use mindfulness techniques and intimate class discussions to bring the focus back to yourself, what you truly want to do with your precious creative time and to answer the question: “What should I be doing next?” We will use a series of unconventional questionnaires, ‘sketch’ assignments and the rituals of artistic and mindfulness innovators as inspiration. We will also discuss discernment and time management techniques to guide you towards the projects that matter the most. You will leave the class with a clearer sense of next steps to take with your existing practice, while also inviting in previously unimagined possibilities for new work. Class feedback is highly individualized for your specific interests and projects.

Joanne Dugan is a visual artist, author and editor who lives and works in New York City. Her ongoing fine art practice involves the use of traditional silver-based analog photographic materials to explore photography as a physical medium. Her unique-image experimental abstract works utilize hand-cutting techniques, chemical alterations, vintage materials and repetition to explore and pay homage to the physical limitations and opportunities found in historic analog methods.
