This process-oriented workshop is open to anyone interested in pushing through creative blocks or ruts, or who just needs a good jump-start.
The course is taught through visual means, but is open to those in all creative fields, veteran and novice alike. We will explore ways of incorporating our experiences and the world around us to awaken our creativity and push through our fears and judgments. There will be in-class and out-of-class assignments utilizing drawing, painting and collage along with other exercises, such as collaboration and use of random functions. Interested participants will have opportunities for individual conferences exploring students’ own projects and/or goals.
As a child, M P Landis traveled throughout the world with his Mennonite missionary parents. After studying political science, philosophy and literature for a few years he dropped out of Millersville University in Pennsylvania to help open a bookstore in downtown Lancaster, PA. In 1989 he moved to Provincetown, MA, to concentrate on making visual art, his intention since early childhood. He quickly began exhibiting there and was awarded a solo exhibition at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum in 1995. In 1996 he moved to Brooklyn, NY, where he lived and worked until the spring of 2015 when he and his family moved to Portland, Maine. Since 1990 he has been in over 30 solo exhibitions and many 2-person and group exhibits and is included in many public and private collections. Landis has taught workshops at the Fine Arts Work Center, Maine College of Art, the Brooklyn Workshop Gallery Foundation, through Farm projects and independently. He exhibits at AMP in Provincetown.
