Creative
Arts Process
Program members also participate
in art exposure activities that expand their
knowledge of art culture and encourage them
to be in the community. Hattie Larlham Creative
Arts uses trackers, themselves professional
artists, to work with program participants
to facilitate the creative process.
Through a dialogue of
yes or no questions and answers, the trackers
uncover each artist’s creative choices
such as color, shape, location and texture.
Trackers pay particular attention to all
of the artists’ movements and vocalizations
to ensure that they correctly interpret
the artists’ intentions. Some of the
artists will use assistive technology, such
as a mounted laser, to even more accurately
direct the tracker.
Working one-on-one with
people in the program, trackers interpret
the artists’ answers and actions as
color and brushstrokes. The trackers work
very hard not to leave their mark on the
final project. It is their job to serve
as an intermediary between the artist and
the brush. As such, the trackers become
an extension of the artist’s tools
and supplies.
Using the trackers as
tools, each artist is free to paint whatever
and however they chose. Learn more about
how it's done.
