The ESTETRA Institute offers its seminars to schools, training institutions and cultural associations interested in promoting them.
At a time of global crisis, not only economic but also existential, more and more people seek greater contact with themselves through artistic expression, as well as a source of well-being that can respond to deeper needs. However, the range of courses offered by different schools and cultural associations may not meet these needs. In such cases, collaboration with other specialist organisations can be a useful strategy.
ESTETRA Institute seminars are designed for people who wish to explore their inner lives through art, providing non-invasive interpretive tools alongside expressive practices. Our teaching approach is based on paying attention to oneself and to what one creates, helping participants discover the relationships between their work and their inner world.
Our seminars provide students with technical knowledge and skills as well as opportunities for self-knowledge and critical interpretation of their own works. In this way, they can direct their artistic expression towards gradually and consistently overcoming not only technical difficulties but also the psychological and emotional challenges involved in any artistic discipline.
Each seminar is preceded by a free public lecture lasting approximately one hour, held on Friday evening. These lectures introduce the work planned for the weekend and provide an opportunity to answer questions from anyone interested. The lecture is an essential occasion for publicising the initiative and generally attracts a large audience.
The courses are divided into four broad sections, briefly presented below:
A. Artistic techniques seminars >>>
B. Creative development seminars >>>
C. Art observation and study seminars >>>
D. Personal development seminars >>>
