Get ready for an interactive journey into the depths of dreams in visual form. This hands-on course on Painting/Sculpting the Psyche is a unique opportunity to explore and express dream images through art. We will delve into the depths of the psyche, rendering the image by painting or sculpting a visual of the dream image and amplifying what the dream world so mysteriously illustrates. We will depict an extraordinarily difficult dimension to discern with watercolors and paintbrushes and with our hands for those interested in sculpting their dream images with Roma Italian Plastilina, a plastic modeling clay. We will rediscover the dream world, giving form, in detail, to its expressions and engaging in an in-depth elaboration of what it so profoundly implies and portends. As a group, we will actively share our felt experiences of the creative process, understand the image's meaning symbolically, and engage in a verbal interactive conversation with the dream image and what it says. This course is designed to inspire and intrigue, offering a unique opportunity to explore and express dream images through art.
