Creative Journaling: Beauty in the Everyday (Saturdays 12-2pm) spring
SPRING SESSION: MARCH 2 - APRIL 19
Class Description:
Searching for fresh inspiration? Want to document meaningful moments in your life, explore multiple art genres, and strengthen your appreciation for beauty in the everyday? This class is a fun, relaxed environment to explore modes of capturing our daily lives, including different genres (i.e. collage, comics, poetry) and themes (i.e. dreams, food, colors). Each week, we'll experiment with different genres & themes. Together, we'll take a look at playful, funky, and inspiring art pieces related to the week's focus before generating work of our own. All levels of creative experience are encouraged.
