{"title":"Courses","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome to Ignite courses, a place where I offer you courses that ignite passion, invite curiosity, infuse creative practices and insights into your own journey as creatives. \u003cbr\u003eMy most deepest memories and art practices have been rooted and shaped by my teachers, when I was a young art student. The teachers who made the most impact on me as a young student were those that had fire to learn with a passion to teach.\u003cbr\u003eWhen I left art school, embarked on my professional path, I continued to teach in small and big ways. \u003cbr\u003eFrom 1997-2005, I taught at the University level, in India, teaching color theory, composition, layout and design thinking to undergrads. Since then, teaching has been part of my life. I have spoken at conferences, worked as a mentor, guiding talented artists to embrace their creativity. I've  hosted demonstrations to groups and at corporate events on the power and connection of art and creative thinking. I've taught all levels and ages. Watching my students thrive, flourish and move with confidence is an exceptional feeling.\u003cbr\u003eIgnite is the place where I offer you short, power packed capsule courses and longer, more intensive courses. Whether it is for yourself, a gift for someone or a path to feed your curiosity, I am sure that these courses will empower you on your path to creative exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"course-introduction-to-abstraction-and-mid-century-modern-stylization","title":"Course: Introduction to Abstraction and Mid-Century Modern Stylization","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eIntroduction to Abstraction and Mid-Century Modern Stylization\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eA 2 hr capsule course on understanding abstract stylization\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThis course is designed for beginners and art lovers who are curious about the world of abstract art and Mid-Century Modern (MCM) stylization.
