CREATIVITY UNLEASHED SYMPOSIUM

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 9:00am-3:00pm at The Center for Urban Horticulture, Seattle, WA

It’s time again for the annual APLDWA Symposium. This year features an Inspirational and Technical Workshop which is back by popular demand. So roll up your sleeves and plan to get messy; you can dress casually and be sure to bring your energy, enthusiasm and creativity.

9:00-12:00 Inspirational Workshop: Music, color and movement will get you ‘into the creative moment’ away from brain work and closer to heart work. Listening to your intuition, being guided by music and connecting with natural forms will guide you to discover the abstracts of garden design. The principles of this workshop will provide you with ways to discover the essence of a project. We will focus on skills to create present and future conceptual stages of landscape design work.

Essential: Bring a work in progress. It should be a plot plan (to scale) with a minimum print size of 18” x 24”. Larger sizes will be more fun and give you more freedom to experience the workshop.

Provided: Tracing paper overlays, soft pastels, music and direction

1:00-3:00 Technical Workshop: Tone up your drafting skills with Linda Engstrom, FAPLD, who will instruct us on the basics of elevation and perspective drawing techniques. She will have us utilize plans and photographs to bring a design idea into 2- and 3-dimensional space. These simple, but essential skills will clarify and enhance your vision when working with clients and contractors.

Essential: The desire to move from plan view to elevation and from a photo of the structural background to the newly created space surrounding it.

Provided: Photograph, pencils, paper, straight edges
