2008-12-00 NO DECEMBER MEETING The Holiday Season is frantic for everyone -- including the Guild Members! So, during December the Guild takes a much needed break. 2008-09-15 SEPTEMBER ART GUILD MEETING Bill Bowerman, "Art and Psychology: One Artist's Journey and Every Artist's Journey" Bill Bowerman, Past President of the Lawrence Art Guild and of the Lawrence Photo Alliance, will present artwork created during the last 25 years. He will discuss various psychology topics that have been relevant to his art and to his development as an artist. These psychology topics (e.g., creativity, self-image, social comparisons, reactions to feedback, interactions with other artists and with non-artists, and promoting and selling art) are relevant to all artists. Before beginning his journey as an artist, Bowerman taught and did research in the psychology departments of the University of Kansas and Leiden University, The Netherlands. He holds a Ph.D. in social psychology from Harvard University. His interests as a psychologist have included self-concept, perception, creativity and innovation. He continues to pursue these research interests actively. The presentation will be a blend of presenting art and discussing central psychological underpinnings of creating art and being an artist. 2008-08-00 NO AUGUST MEETING The Guild takes a summer break and does not hold monthly meetings in July or August.
