Summary/Abstract: The article presents interdisciplinary studies of the creative workshop, treated as an art form. It contains a presentation of the structure of the original workshop developed by the Eugeniusz Józefowski and discusses the role of imagination and image. The workshop is treated by the Author as an art form dating back to the premises of the avant-garde , and contained in the current of its post-avant-garde manifestations. It takes into consideration the demand for personalization of art, which causes the rejection of the rigor of the work imposed by the artistic structure that is defined by the technique. The essence of art becomes a functional relation between the main participants of the aesthetic events – the creative artist, the viewer, and the subject matter, a relation consisting in the experience of art. Their functions intertwine, creating an aesthetical field . The concept of workshop refers to the idea of shaping reality through art, espoused in all currents and formations of the avant-garde. The postulate refers to two dimensions of experiencing reality – external and internal. The shaping of external reality is achieved through the arrangement of the public space, introduction of the new order of the social space, defined by the work/artistic process. The shaping of the inner reality encompasses the influence of the creative situation experienced by the individual on his/her mental makeup: views, emotions, values.
