Workshop 3: The Art Of...Creativity & Innovation
Key objective
To engage with a conceptual artist on the subject of creativity and innovation in project development and execution.
Overview
This session is led by a facilitator with artist Chris Dobrowloski.
This workshop is about creativity, ideas and innovation. It sets out some rules of engagement around innovation, where ideas come from and how far we are prepared to go in terms of taking risks in projects.
At the core of the workshop is a unique presentation by artist Chris Dobrowolski. Using original film footage, photographs and examples of his work, Chris articulates his profound and hilarious journey from Art School to major art exhibitions and finally to the Antarctic for three months as the official Artist in Resident of The British Antarctic Survey!
The journey is not a smooth one, as he searches for his ‘inner need!’ It is an awe-inspiring journey that translates powerfully to the challenges we have in achieving personal and work goals, including setting targets, measuring success and motivating ourselves and others in the area of creativity.
