Creative Critical Thinking with Daniel Segrove
How do we, as artists, create work that means something? How do we move from making art that decorates to art that communicates? This lecture is for artists early in their creative development who are asking: how do I make my work more personal, more direct, more intentional? Segrove explores the practice of meaning-making, and what it takes to build the trust in yourself to say something real.
