Creativity. How does it work and how to improve it. Neuropsychology and reality.
From 36 € /h
We go through the workings of the attention mechanism, a neurological process explained in an easy way. Afterwards we look at Creativity itself and how those processes of "attention" or "focus" contribute to creativity. We look at the problems as well as solutions. Exercises and Homework are an option. The course can be extended into Visual literacy, Storytelling and philosophy of the Image.
Extra information
While teaching Visual Arts in the Netherlands, Maksims Kačanovs started wondering how to teach creativity more effectively. His search started to combine the earlier experience and knowledge as a visual artist and new research into neurology and psychology of attention. The result is a priceless understanding of how attention translates into Creativity, Emotional Intelligence, Storytelling and Visual Literacy. Maksims Kačanovs is working with light, building cameras, teaching and researching. He has almost twenty years of experience as a photographer and has started teaching photography in 2005. He has experience teaching visual arts in front of a class as well as individually.

About Me
A researcher, an inventor, a do-gooder, a traveler. I'm quite curious. In fact, life is all about LEARNING. That's why I've spent a good part of my life trying to figure out how "learning" works. I have my degrees, but I don't believe in them. Curiosity, critical thinking, and communication are much more important. I'm just scratching the surface here ;)
After 24 years in the Netherlands, I've been traveling for nine months now. I'm currently in Mexico, and I already speak excellent Spanish. If you know how to learn, learning becomes fun and easy!
In the Netherlands I taught at SintLucas (MBO) in Eindhoven and at Vakcollege Eindhoven (VSO)

Stories are as old as we are, but if you want to put a story on paper or portray a story, it turns out to be more difficult than talking to your friends. How about now?
Not what you tell, but HOW you tell it is the most important.
The basics and how to use psychology to write a story, this is what you will learn anyway. Those who want to continue afterwards will learn how to write a script. Fiction or facts, you decide what you want to learn.
