Who the course is for: This course is taught in English. The course is suitable as a refresher course for artist with fine art education.
 
The creative process has for some time been a prominent subject among artists and academics. This course focuses on the interplay of perception, knowledge and theories about meaning, and how these relate to the creative process.
 
The relationship of the creative process to other concepts, such as perception, responsibility, use value, interpretation and meaning, are looked at specifically, in addition to theories in the field of phenomenology and philosophy of mind. The aim of this course is to make these ideas accessible and useful for participants in the course, and enable participants to make use of them in their own artistic and/or theoretical working processes.
