Art-Expression Workshops

Art-Expression Workshops is an initiative founded and directed by visual artist and art coach Golnar Tabibzadeh.Philosophy:“Art is a shortcut to Self.”Art-Expression is a visual and intellectual adventure designed to learn, practice, and use visual arts in order to explore and express the self, develop communication skills, and process and exchange context.Here, we have revised the conventional order of most painting classes.While you will learn about painting techniques and theories, we do not start with them. Instead, we begin by retrieving the desire and joy of using art as a reflective medium.Our participants are encouraged and empowered to link thoughts and emotions with visual expression and not be afraid to share them.If you find the core, you will learn the way!After discovering one’s organic relationship with the medium of painting, learning techniques and improving skills becomes easier and more enjoyable.Art-Expression is an invitation to step beyond the barriers and limitations of verbal communication and expand the possibilities of expression through the unique qualities of creating and using images.“Good Art” or “Bad Art”? Let’s erase that thought!Breaking free from judgments of others and oneself is the key to reconnecting with the medium of art.Art-Expression programs offer a safe space in which complexities related to social class, gender, personal barriers, and beyond can be addressed, processed, and discussed.The art practice remains at the heart of this process and serves as its fundamental tool.By offering a set of mind-triggering tasks, participants use simple, easy-to-achieve visual arts techniques to materialize their thoughts.
