INTRODUCTION TO INSPIRATIONAL ARTS COURSE CERTIFICATE

 

We believe that to creatively participate and serve with love is paramount for our social life.

The recalibration of the creative human mind and soul, particularly after being numbed by long-term habits and other unnatural behaviours, is crucial for the survival of every human being on the planet.

In various forms, art can serve as a valuable assistant, offering the user enhanced focus, dexterity, and a deeper respect and appreciation for creation, while also rekindling a connection with all of life.

​​

Art is a very complex, intelligent, skilled, and inspired way to bring order to the chaos of life. The Philosophy, ideas, techniques, styles, and materials have been tested and mastered by bright individuals over thousands of years, and now they serve as a precious inheritance for all of us to use and share for the benefit of everyone.

​

Humanity has arrived at a very dangerous crossroads, and we are called to use what we have learnt from our chosen disciplines through the eons of time and break through the oppressive limitations.

​

Though Arts for Health isn’t art therapy with the strict official clinical psychotherapy meaning of the word, nothing has stopped all forms of art from being a hugely successful means to ease the pain of depression and calm aggression. Every type of artist has experience of this.

​

What we will do is provide you with skilled art courses and advice, stemming directly from our carefully gathered observations of various techniques and materials. I believe that many artists possess valuable insights that cannot be found in any artistic manual; rather, they emerge from years of personal experience, research, and inspiration.

​

Our initial offerings consist of full-time and part-time unaccredited certificate courses in Inspirational Art. If you commit to these courses, you will not only empower yourself as an artist but also qualify to teach the Inspirational Art curriculum as an associate of the Glastonbury School of Art.

​

These courses provide a unique perspective on creativity, addressing questions that typical public institutions often overlook while incorporating the essential aspects of our collective and spiritual existence, as well as our role on this planet.

​

We will utilize carefully crafted exercises that draw upon practices employed by professional artists for centuries, designed to engage not only our bodies and minds but also our souls in the creative process. The aim of this program is to gather and share insights from artists like myself and many others with the general public, circumventing the limitations posed by public institutions, galleries, and personal creative barriers.

​

Without further ado, we invite you to participate in our courses tailored for beginners and more advanced students alike. This program, titled "Introduction to Inspirational Art," will occur over three days each month (two in the studio and one online), specifically on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM when working in the studio and Wednesdays online from 11:00 AM to 13:00 PM.

​

Classes will be held at the Glastonbury Art School studio. Attendance is limited to a maximum of six participants at any one time and includes a one-hour lunch break. We will start with three groups of students. One full-time and two part-time. The first group will begin on Friday, September 11, and the second group will start on Friday, September 18, 2026. The first year will conclude in May 2027 with an exhibition showcasing the best works of all the students.
