Michael Atavar

I am an artist and a developer, solving professional problems, using creativity as a key.

I am the author of six books about creativity – Looking At Art (With Your Eyes Closed) Michael Atavar's Creative Courses From Tate: Experiments In Everyday Seeing (2019), Being Creative: Be Inspired. Unlock Your Originality (2018), How To Have Creative Ideas In 24 Steps – Better Magic (2016), Everyone Is Creative (2013), 12 Rules Of Creativity (2011) and How To Be An Artist (2009), covering the areas of process, individual practice, generating ideas and group dynamics.

I also offer leadership coaching, business workshops, 1-2-1s and group facilitation for organisations (see my Therapy For Business modules on my website).

Plus teaching in museums and public spaces.

For eight years I was a faculty member at The School of Life, London (Summer School, New Year Intensive, TSOL Business, Creativity MOT programme). 2014-16 I ran three courses at Tate, as part of their Public Programmes (Experimental Making – Creating From Everyday, The Creative Act, Creative Process). Plus 2015-22 I taught on the Masters Programme at PhotoEspana, Madrid (Annual Workshops, Participant Tutorials, PHe Business).
