LIVE SOCIAL MEDIA COURSE

Foundation and Self-Assessment

The workshop begins by establishing a clear and purposeful framework for understanding social media not as a distraction, but as a professional tool deeply aligned with an artist’s creative journey. Day one introduces students to the concept of intentional digital presence and aims to dismantle the misconception that social platforms are solely for casual or commercial use. Instead, social media is presented as a dynamic space for storytelling, networking, reflecting and building a portfolio and profile as an artist in real time.

 

Instagram Optimisation

Day two transitions into hands-on learning, focusing specifically on Instagram as a professional portfolio. Students are guided through the process of reimagining their Instagram presence from casual curation to a strategically curated, visually compelling, and discoverable artistic archive. The session highlights the power of visual storytelling, emphasising that an Instagram feed is more than a grid – it’s a gallery owned by the artist.

Creative Reflection and Authentic Sharing

The final day of the workshop turns inward, cantering authenticity, vulnerability, and reflective storytelling. It addresses a common but unspoken barrier: the fear of sharing. Many students hesitate to post unfinished work or unpolished thoughts due to critique culture or perfectionism. This session creates a safe, collaborative space to reframe these fears and embrace social media as part of the art-making process, not just a site for finished products.
