Beginner’s Mindset
Workshop
March 2026
4 sessions
What if we approached creativity with the same qualities required to be a beginner? patience, humility, openness, experimentation…
Through the use of unconventional mark making tools, this workshop was designed to demonstrate that creativity is not a skill, but rather, a mindset.
Week 1: explore mark making with invented and unconventional tools
Week 2: deep dive into one tool and exchange with a partner, teaching techniques you’ve discovered
Week 3: “what if we…” collective brainstorm on the project’s natural evolution and form
Week 4: finalize
Murals of random marks soon took the form of a book about a tiger 🐅. Over 11 chapters, the tiger learns one quality required to be a beginner. Each page is numbered 1️⃣ because we’re always practicing a beginner’s mindset.
