We will explore the intimate relation between the art of psyche, active imagination and art. Our main focus will be on the role of active imagination in the psychic origin of artistic creation. Jung defines active imagination as a technique for evoking images from the unconscious and then actively engaging those images. By creating a series of dreams, visions, and spontaneous images during course we will have the opportunity to observe the creative process in motion, in visual forms of the collective unconscious psychologically speaking in terms of the symbolic, compensatory, amplification, and unconscious complexes. We will read what Jung (as well as others like Marie-Louise von Franz) have written about active imagination. We will view images that Jung actively evoked from his unconscious and then painted in his famous Red Book \u2013 an important example of \u201cOutsider Art.\u201d In experiential exercises, we will have an opportunity to create our own art from images that emerge from the unconscious in our own active imaginations. As a group, we will have an opportunity to show, share, and discuss together the art that we have all actively imagined.<\/p>\n
