Dragonfly Art Mentorship Progam is more than just art lessons. When we enter our art studio, we bring in all our recent emotions, memories, beliefs we were taught growing up about art & artists, interactions of the day, body feelings, as well as the stormy/sunny world around us. So we begin there.
When I was teaching high school, I told my students to leave all that worldly stuff at the door. You want to enter the studio with fresh eyes, an open heart, and the intent to play. So the Mentorship program begins with our attitudes. How you feel about life, is how you feel about your art.
First of all, writing a personal Spiral Success Path helps you look at yourself in a new way. Your body remembers all you’ve done in the past and happily brings it all back when you enter the inner intuitive creative space. This inner journey is your Sanctuary to find balance from the outside world.
Healing the World begins with healing Your Self.
Secondly, every Monday, Dragonfly offers art classes, inspiration, master artists, or resources to move your forward. I call these Skills the Crafts part of Art. Techniques, tools, drawing, brushwork, mixed media, etc, hands on making that you can play with as much as you like.
Next, you create a toolbox of Resources, personal to your loves and passions. You’ll never wonder what to make next with a treasure of ideas to explore.
But the Dragonfly Art Mentorship Program then takes you to the next level, if you choose to go there. Thirdly, You take all these skills, and apply them to meaningful, personal, authentic art about you, your feelings, and your world. Here you enter the Mystery, develop deep Trust in your self, and enter a timeless place to lose your self in Play. This is such a healthy way to live.
Create the World You Want to Live in.
Plus, In the Mentorship Program, we learn to talk to our inner Artist to achieve success in Life and Art. Inside of us are at least two different aspects: 1. the inner critic which has been formed since childhood, and 2. the Wise One who knows all the answers best for us.
These are ongoing aims for our Mentorship group to find personal focus and direction for our lives as artists, and for our art. Join us if you are an explorer on the quest to find your true Artistic Self. Receive a free class, get Sunday art tips, and know when the doors open for the Dragonfly Art Mentorship Program.
