art learning beyond the technical

beyond the medium: conceptual frameworks for creatives

get your head out of your arts!

unlock a deeper creative process. a course for creatives of all expressions, visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, digital and media arts and crafts and design. 

this 8-week course (eight 2+ hour workshops) is built for beginners, self-doubters, students, and seasoned creators facing a creative block. if you want to push past the boundaries of your current practice, this course focuses on fostering critical, conceptual thinking over pure technical skill.

run by mr blœck ; a waikato based experimental, multi-disciplinary conceptual artist—this immersive experience will challenge how you approach your craft. through interactive presentations, lively debates, and hands-on experimentation, you will learn to look beyond the medium and focus on the raw idea of creativity.

no matter your creative discipline, you will explore:

  • unlearning "good" art: deconstruct the myth that creativity requires traditional technical mastery.

  • tracking your attention: shift your focus from the final product to observing your own mind, memory, and surroundings.

  • embracing discomfort: overcome the fear of failure by using a lack of control as your primary creative generator.

  • changing perspectives: practice looking at familiar routines, spaces, and structures from radically alternative angles.

  • art as a gesture: explore how a fleeting, temporary action can carry immense emotional and philosophical weight.

  • telling stories with shadows: use absence, silence, and negative space to suggest narrative and emotion.

  • subverting the everyday: take a mundane or societal routine and subtly disrupt it to make the ordinary feel extraordinary.

  • your personal manifesto: synthesise the course by defining what creativity means to you, entirely free from traditional standards.
