art journaling ONline classes

You will make your own chipboard journal.  You'll learn about all the supplies you need...Marking tools, adhesive, collage medium, brushes, etc. Raw collage materials include books, tissue, fabric, decorative papers, magazines, maps, etc.     You will learn some techniques for mixed media journal making and find inspiration to start your own therapeutic art journaling journey.  You will create an art journal with a variety of papers and a chipboard cover decorated with mixed media and a quote about creativity.

We will find choose a book, prepare the book and create a journal spreads inspired by the contents of the book. We will enjoy the creative process and curiosity as we let our creativity play as we are inspired by the theme of bees. The contents of your book may be different than mine, but that's ok. I hope that you will jump in and play around finding inspiration from your book and have fun with me. 

We will go step by step in transforming a book into a creative art journal. Art journaling offers so many benefits for everyone (even if you don't think of yourself as a "creative person")! This is an easy process to create a journal with pages ready for you to fill with art of all kinds. If you feel like it's hard to find time for creativity, this project can be done in small chunks of time and save you time by having pages already started too!  In this class we will choose a book to use prep and support pages, add some pockets and paint backgrounds.
