Stopping and reflecting on why you create what you create is a valuable step in self understanding. It helps focus us with clarity. This weeks exercise asks us to stop, listen and reflect on why we make the art that we do.

Have you ever had one of your photographs described as ‘Painterly’? Not even sure what that means? This week we will explore the look and techniques to create them.

Learning to talk about your work and that of others is a key skill that needs practice.  It can be learnt and developed. Identifying the underlying emotions, compositional foundations and intellectual stimulations of an artwork helps you produce better work.

This week we will practice on our own photographs and the art of others. 

In this exercise you will be asked to create photographs in the style of one of your favorite artists, artworks or artistic techniques.
