One of Blue Zoo Creative’s co-owners, Eric Huber, will be teaching a class at the New Design School in Fayetteville this fall. It will be the fourth year instructing the class which focuses on defining a person’s creative process.
But it’s not limited to those seeking a career in Graphic Design.
“If you’re a creative person, whether in commercial arts or fine arts, you probably have ‘blocks’ that keep you from doing the creative work you know you’re capable of producing,” Huber says. “This course will help you break those ‘blocks’ and open yourself to all new possibilities.”
Below is the course description and other information.
Seating is limited! Class starts August 24th at 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm (Wednesdays).
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The goal of Creative Identity 1 is to Identify and define your personal creative process. This will be done through journaling, learning to maintain an active sketchbook, and identifying other means of documenting creative thought and inspiration. By the end of the 12 weeks, you will have learned how to question and break old beliefs and gain self-confidence in your creative identity.
This class will utilize in-class instruction, video presentations, class discussion, and student presentations as well as out-of-class readings, journaling, research and writing assignments.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

TEXTS COVERED
