What is Process Art?

We bang on about process art, all day, every day, at Faire & Co, so probably best to let you know what is actually means and how it can work for you!

Process art is about the method behind the creation and allowing you, or your child, to explore art in an open-ended, unstructured way. Children are naturally drawn to art. For them it is a form of expression as they explore materials and uncover possibilities. As adults we need to re-ignite our creativity spark and process art is the best way to do that.

At Faire & Co., with welcoming studios nestled in both the leafy suburb of Kalamunda and the vibrant area of North Perth, Western Australia, we believe that the innate human connection to art transcends age. Children instinctively gravitate towards creative exploration, their hands eagerly investigating textures, colours, and the boundless possibilities that unfold with each stroke and touch. As adults, however, the pressures of daily life can often dim that creative spark, leaving us feeling disconnected from the joy of pure artistic expression. That's where the transformative power of process art comes in, and it's at the very core of everything we do at Faire & Co.

Forget the rigid rules of "good art" and the self-doubt that whispers, "I'm not creative." At Faire & Co. in Kalamunda and North Perth, we foster a supportive and encouraging environment where the emphasis is not on the final masterpiece, but on the journey of creation itself. We invite you to simply try, experiment with abandon, have unadulterated fun, and trust in the unfolding process. The beauty of process art lies in the lessons learned along the way, even if the outcome isn't what you initially envisioned.

Perhaps you'll discover that the fluidity of watercolours brings you a sense of unexpected peace, the colours dancing across the page in a mesmerizing ballet. Or maybe you'll find that the texture of clay grounding and allows you to shape your thoughts into tangible forms. Conversely, you might learn that a particular medium doesn't resonate with you – and that's perfectly okay! Every exploration, every experiment, every moment spent creating at Faire & Co. in Kalamunda and North Perth, is a valuable step in understanding your own unique artistic voice.

Because our focus is firmly rooted in the process, rather than the final product, the art created at Faire & Co. is inherently unique. There's no room for comparison with the person working beside you. Instead, our studios in Kalamunda and North Perth foster a sense of community where you can learn from others, share ideas and techniques, but ultimately celebrate the individuality of your own artistic expression. This is where confidence blossoms, genuine connections are formed, and the sheer joy of creating takes centre stage.

In our fast-paced world, the act of creativity, whether it's a simple drawing, a vibrant painting, or a tactile craft, offers a precious escape from the everyday stresses. Artists often describe entering a state of "flow" or being "in the zone" – a meditative space where the incessant chatter of the brain quiets, worries fade into the background, and complete focus is channeled into the singular act of creation. It's a form of active meditation, a mindful practice that leaves you with something tangible to admire at the end – a testament to your focused presence.

Beyond the immediate joy and stress relief, engaging in creative activities at Faire & Co. in Kalamunda and North Perth, offers profound developmental benefits, especially for children. Child development experts overwhelmingly agree that fostering creativity is a vital aspect of learning and growth. It enhances problem-solving skills, encourages critical thinking, boosts self-esteem, and cultivates innovative thinking – skills that extend far beyond the art studio. And the wonderful news is that engaging in art is equally beneficial for adults, offering a lifelong pathway to well-being and self-discovery.

So, the next time your child in Kalamunda or North Perth, utters those dreaded words, "I'm bored," resist the urge to reach for a screen. Instead, gather some paper and pencils, bring out the paints, or explore the textures of clay. Give them a simple prompt, encourage them to trust the process, and witness the unique world they create. And perhaps, while they're busy exploring, you might just pick up a brush or a piece of clay yourself and re-ignite that creative spark within you at Faire & Co. in Kalamunda and North Perth, Western Australia.
