Join J. Sybylla Smith for their upcoming Concept Aware® classes!
Concept Aware® (CA) is a unique concept development toolkit. Ideas surrounding how you see and why it matters form the foundation for your creative practice. Concept Aware® is an actionable framework that engages and empowers visual artists with a skill set to inspire, refine and expand their visual voice. This coursework stimulates awareness, provides clarity and instills confidence in one’s concepts, fostering a capacity to communicate and contextualize one’s work in impactful images
