Studio Sunday = Measurable Results

March 12th, 2009 at 08:31am Stephen Milne

EDITOR - Stephen is a regular participant in our Studio Sundays programs, in which museum visitors of all ages are invited to create their own artworks in our 6th floor studios. He wanted to share this link as an example of the kind of work he does outside of Studio Sundays.

As a Concept Engineer, I love Studio Sundays at MAD. In the business world, I generate New Ideas and bring a blend of applied creativity and objectivity to client’s challenges (including COTY and DuPont) helping them to see new possibilities and create new revenue streams. My ideas are strategic and innovative solutions that bring together aesthetics and measurable results.

Sometimes its fun to participate in activities that are measurable in a different respect. During Studio Sunday, a multi-generational program, I enjoy discussing selections from the art on view – collaboratively. The best part follows. A MAD facilitator assigns participants a problem to solve with[in] limited time constraints and using humble materials. The outcome of this challenge is creative play which I find refreshing. It is inspiring to see others’ creative process and their artistic solutions too, all accomplished within a highly supportive atmosphere. These results are measurable in terms of pure fun and enjoyment.

    I recently participated in a Studio Sunday at MAD and totally enjoyed it.

    I was surprised by the mix of my fellow participants: adults AND kids, but quickly saw how creativity knows no age (and how creative a child’s mind can be).

    This is the only program, I know in the city, which starts with an artistic question/problem, involves a viewing of the exhibits, then concludes with a creative “hands on” solution.

    Very engaging, very illustrative, very fun.
