Active Imagination: Ideation Process for Creatives
Minneapolis College of Art and Design Continuing Education (MCAD), Spring 2022/Fall 2023
This remote, five-week course introduces a world-building process grounded in imagination, memory, and dream. A range of nontraditional exercises in a supportive environment encourages students to consider deep focus and empathetic observation as daily tools of making, in order to deepen their existing creative practice. The heart of this technique is a deep focus exercise the group practices together during class meetings. In the final week students are encouraged to take steps to develop new work directly from the technique, in the creative discipline of their choice.
