Art Theory, Story, and Ideas Behind Creative Work in Castle Rock
Art Theory classes at Tri Arts Project focus on the questions behind creative practice. Rather than only learning a technique, students explore why artists make certain choices, how stories are built, and what it means to share work with others. This program is ideal for **artists, collectors, and curious Castle Rock residents** looking for something unique to do and think about.
Understanding Creative Structure
Some classes explore how ideas are shaped into finished works, whether on the page, canvas, or stage. Topics may include:
- Basic concepts of narrative and theme (Advanced focus)
- Ways artists guide a viewer’s attention
- The relationship between form and content
- How personal experience influences creative decisions
Art Theory supports students in Creative Writing, Business of Art, and Creative Exploration & Mixed Media, giving them language and structure to describe what they are making and why.
