Art and Self with Cindy Ingram

201 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago - ★★★★★ - 32 ratings

Art is more than a creative outlet or something to study in art history. Art is a catalyst for self-improvement, a tool for understanding the human spirit, and a way to find your path. Through reflections, art conversations, and in-depth explorations of artworks, this podcast might just change your life.

Join your host, Cindy Ingram—the founder of Art Class Curator, the Curated Connections Library, and the Art and Self Connection Circle—as she explores the life connections waiting to be discovered in works of art.

We live in a world that overstimulates our senses but often ignores our needs. With an unending feed of bright lights, loud noises, and information both true and false, it feels like the scroll never ends. Despite the fact that our feeds are constantly live and updating, our souls are not being fed. We need creative thinking, true communication, and genuine connection to ourselves and others—that’s where art comes in.

Art and Self is both an art and a self development podcast about using art as a way to find your truth, know yourself, and discover the path you were meant to walk in life. Remember, the most important part of an artwork is you.

[ART CLASS CURATOR] How to Handle Your Anxiety at School: A Discussion with Highly-Sensitive Teachers

November 22, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 196 MB

This episode is part of the former Art Class Curator episode and is targeted specifically for art teachers.  - I’ve noticed that the excitement and energy that comes with teaching wasn’t really there at the beginning of this school year. And if you’re one who struggles with anxiety or high-sensitivity, teaching these days is harder than ever. Today’s episode is a re-release for both new listeners and old ones who’ve forgotten or missed out on this one the first time around. It involves...

The Power in Partnering Poetry and Visual Art with Glenis Redmond

November 15, 2021 07:00 - 45 minutes - 105 MB

When you’re a kid into art, it’s hard to imagine doing that and getting paid for it like a job. (We all know that old adage about starving artists). This is possibly even more true for those who like writing poetry. You don’t often hear about professional poets. Well, today’s an exception. My guest Glenis Redmond is an award-winning, professional poet, and teaching artist. In this episode, she talks about being drawn to poetry from an early age, her biggest inspiration for diving into a po...

Delighting in the Connection Between Art and Spirituality with Eric Booth

November 08, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 138 MB

After graduate school, I worked at an art non-profit called Big Thought. While I was there, my podcast guest today Eric Booth was a consultant who went high up in the company straight out of college. He did a lot of staff development training and programs for the non-profit. This episode represents a full circle moment for me as I thrill at reconnecting with him! In it, he and I talk about his path as a teaching artist and the connection between art and spirituality, a topic we both care abo...

Coming Full Circle With the Joy of Art Connection: My Interview with Lisa Carpenter

November 01, 2021 06:00 - 51 minutes - 119 MB

Over the last few months, I’ve really been exploring what really lights me up in my work. While helping teachers bring the joy of personal art connection to their students has been wonderful, I also know that I want to teach again and be in conversations about art rather than just helping others facilitate them. To that end, I’m offering a new program on November 8 that’s not just for teachers, it’s for anybody. As a precursor to this, I did an interview with a friend and colleague of mine...

Studying the Disturbing 2000 Self-Portrait of Marcos Raya with Madalyn Gregory

October 25, 2021 06:00 - 58 minutes - 135 MB

Some pieces of art just make you uncomfortable. Maybe it’s a movie or scene that hits too close to home, or a book about a particularly violent event (real or fictional) that makes you squirm... or a painting that brings up regrets or painful memories. For Madalyn Gregory and myself, Marcos Raya’s 2000 painting The Anguish of Being and the Nothingness of the Universe made us feel ill at ease. So of course we had to discuss it! I’m excited to welcome Madalyn back on the show to talk about a...

Treating Text and Art as a Sacred Practice for Growth with Vanessa Zoltan

October 04, 2021 06:00 - 46 minutes - 107 MB

Guess who I have on as my guest today! Long-time listeners know that I love the Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast. One of the co-hosts, Vanessa Zoltan, has similar views about connecting with literature as I do with artwork. In this episode, she and I discuss her book Praying with Jane Eyre and how to use sacred text (or sacred art) as a tool to help you deal with some of life’s problems, do good in the world, and become a better person in the process. 2:24​ - Vanessa briefs us on h...

Art as a Powerful Gateway for Conversations About Race with Dani Coke

September 20, 2021 06:00 - 50 minutes - 117 MB

We sometimes talk about using art to make a difference. And while some may be cynical about that claim, my guest today isn’t one of them.

As you listen to her describe her journey, you’ll get chills at the power of her art, just like I did! 2:01​ - Dani briefly explains her history as a lover of art and creativity 5:56 -...

Rediscovering the Emotional and Personal Power of Art

September 13, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 147 MB

In the wake of the pandemic last year, I recorded a conference, Called to Art, that brought together educators from across the U.S. It was an amazing experience where I used real-world examples of myself to discuss what we learn from looking at art, how we can become emotionally connected to particular pieces of art, and why you should show more works of art to your students. It was all about discovering and rediscovering the emotional power of art, and I want to share that presentation with...

Bringing the Past Into the Present: A 9/11 Memorial Artwork Case Study

September 06, 2021 06:00 - 30 minutes - 70.9 MB

The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is right around the corner. So many people, including your students, weren’t alive when it happened. That’s shocking when you think about it because of how it changed our world practically overnight and still influences current events. So in this episode, I want to use the 9/11 Memorial artwork as a case study for bringing past (and present) events into the classroom and using art to process, reflect, practice empathy, and better understand complex issues. 4:57...

Why Picasso’s Guernica Paints Such a Powerfully Emotional Picture

August 23, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 146 MB

Art as a defensive weapon? It seems strange, but Pablo Picasso demonstrated its power in his painting Guernica.

This episode is part of the former Art Class Curator podcast and is targeted specifically for art teachers.  - Ever since I started Art Class Curator in 2014, I’ve heard a lot of teachers who haven’t tried our lessons tell me that their students can’t do them.

The Countless Ways Art Can Change You and the World Through You

July 19, 2021 06:00 - 40 minutes - 91.5 MB

The personal connection you have with works of arts--what it does for you and how you use it in your life--rubs off on your students too and impacts their lives and those around them. Author John Butler once said, “Art changes people and people change the world.” How?

In this episode, I discuss how it benefits the broader spectrum of humanity physically, mentally, emotionall...

I rarely comment about the Internet, but sometimes I have to speak up when something bumps up against my values.

Looking At Art As A Spiritual Practice

April 26, 2021 06:00 - 41 minutes - 94.8 MB

If you’ve been following us for a while, what we do here at Art Class Curator is much deeper than art appreciation or history. Appreciating art is great, but it gives off the vibe of being better than you and puts up a divide between the art and those who can enjoy it. In the last year, we’ve been emphasizing art connection instead of appreciation. Connecting with art has taught me something about myself that I didn’t know, helped me get through something, or given me clarity or a safe spa...
