Part 1 Exercises

This is a collection of exercises for the entire group to be finished for the first meeting.

For The First Meeting

1. Read the support material for Part 1 and write down any questions that arise for discussion in the first meeting.

2. Consider and answer the five questions in Understanding the Artist Within. If possible, send your answers by email to the facilitators a week in advance of the first meeting. This will allow them time to make a considered response. It will also give them a checklist to monitor progress. Feel free to make your answers as long or as brief as you want. If very long (several pages), a summary would benefit all of us.

3. As in question 2, draft a list of the major questions or issues that concern you and email to the facilitators.

4. Collect 2-4 pieces of recent work to bring to the meeting for critique and discussion. Especially bring work that is causing you grief. It helps us greatly if we can get a sense of the kind of work you do.
