Lateral Thinking & Painting

The student is required to inform the teacher about his absence from a particular session, two days prior to the class. In such a case, the teacher will reschedule the class and conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student. In case the student misses to give two days prior notice about his absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is completely based on teacher’s discretion.

In case the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, he/she will inform the students two days prior to the class.

Creative or lateral thinking is a skill and not a talent, that is inborn. It can be learnt. Lateral thinking is the process of freeing up the shackles that hold up a thinking process. It is a structured approach towards reaching out to newer ideas. This helps improves creativity.

This course will just simply free up your thoughts and allow you explore some really cool new ways to create your "own" pieces of work.

The brain is not intended for creative thinking. The brains power lies in forming patterns and sticking to these patterns. In order to become creative one needs to block the normal channels and cut across patterns.

Anybody can benefit from this course. These are general techniques and can be applied to any situation or problem in life or in an organization and not just in art. Students can utilize their learning and apply to any situation.
