In partnership with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA), the MIT Leadership Center offers a rare opportunity: a workshop to boost your creativity, investigative abilities, and strategies for breakthrough thinking. Working in the studios of the SMFA, you will experiment with and explore narrative, chance, and color, through intensive, hands-on immersion into animation as collaboration, cartoon story boarding, and 3D/installation. On Day 1, you will begin with a day-long, connected series of exercises which will both introduce you to key visual arts skills and help you synthesize your experience as a creator and a business leader. On Day 2, you will work closely with SMFA students on a morning-long project, in which you will integrate management and artistic expertise to address a combined business and art world challenge.
David Kelley is the co-coordinator of the “21st Century Visual Arts Workshops Business Leaders” workshop and a full time member of the Drawing Faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and is the Director of the Studio Diploma and Fifth year Programs at the SMFA. David is a practicing artist who lives and works in Boston and has exhibited in Boston and New York City.
