|episode 6
Talking more about the spontaneous, free approach to painting as described in Episode #4 and the problem of how important technical proficiency is in art/creativity versus a more intimate, authentic and original search for expression where technique occurs as a by-product rather than the focus.

|episode 5
In this episode I'm expanding on a painting/drawing technique accessing the imagination and subconscious as discussed in Episode #4. I'm also describing the non-verbal language of abstraction observed in babies experimenting with their physical world, why they are compelled to do it as are artists.

This episode is about you accessing your imagination and starting to make your own marks on paper as an entry point to your own creativity by short circuiting the rational, logical side of the brain. How a finished piece of art is a freeze frame of a process, where making art started for me and sleeping in the closet for the sake of art. Image: Drawing by Celia Hemken

|episode 3
Art's ideas of human being's place in space, geometry, what Voyager I & II missions mean for art - verticals, horizontals, above, below in art, about leaving the past behind to use art to face future uncertainty as well as discover about yourself, how art is making your own Golden Record to be remembered by.

|episode 2
How a piece of art can contain so many meanings and layers, what Pareidolias are and how art emerges from the imagination and memory. Also I'm revealing how the materials for making art can be invented, appearing by accident and how something you make can be so childlike, so innocent, but contain profound universal themes.

|episode 1
First of a series about understanding modern art by making it yourself. This episode is about how when you start making art yourself you realise that you become more sensitised to the world and that's a wonderful thing even if you end up sobbing in an art gallery with security looking on.(*_+).
