Creation of a Meaningful Body of Work
Creation of a Meaningful Body of Work
5 Month Art Intensive
5 Month Art Intensive
It is a very common feeling to love art (and even be quite good at it!) but feel like you don’t know what your style is or what exactly you’re trying to say through your work.
This can leave many artists feeling like your work isn’t meaningful or impactful, which can deter you from continuing on as a professional artist.
I want to help you out of that rut.
In this Art Intensive, I work with small groups of artists to lead you through how to find your artistic voice and how to create work in alignment with it. This allows you to finally create artwork that is meaningful, impactful and deeply fulfilling, both for you as the artist making it, as well as those that have the privilege of seeing and interreacting with it.
I want you to be proud of your work, not only for your own satisfaction, but also so that you feel confident to get your work out there to the galleries and collectors who can make your dream of being a professional artist a reality.
You deserve nothing less.
Here is how this Intensive is laid out
Week 1 - Decoding your favorite artists. Understanding the ‘Artist Manifesto’
Week 2 - Write rough draft of your personal Artist Manifesto / Thesis
Week 3 - Deepening your Thesis through raw life experience (part art theory, part therapy)
Week 4 - Color and material expression and how to refine them to your Thesis
Week 5 - Prep your materials for creation of your first Piece
Week 6 - Begin your first Piece
Week 7-10 - Presentations of works completed along with discussions and critiques
Week 11 - Deeping and refining of original Thesis
Week 12 - Presentations of refined Thesis
Week 13-15 - Presentations of works completed along with discussions and critiques
Week 16-17 - Final Exhibition for each artist in group
Week 18 - How to make a professional artist’s website
Week 19 - Presentations and feedback of websites
Week 20 - How to professionally apply to a gallery
Week 21 - Closing Thoughts

If accepted into this Intensive, you will be contacted by Veronica personally and given further instructions.
This Intensive is offered year round, with starting dates opening up every few months.
Each class is a 2 hour weekly zoom call set for the time and day of the week that works best for each small group. Each group is no more than 5 students.
**(Individual lessons are also available either via zoom, or if you live in the Pittsburgh, PA area they can also be in person)**
The supplies for each artist’s works created during the Art Intensive are provided by each artist themselves, not Veronica.
The cost of this Art Intensive is $199 a month (lasting for 5-6 months depending on the pace of each individual group).
For all additional questions, you can contact Veronica HERE.
Looking forward to working with you!
