Have you ever wanted to make art but weren’t sure where to begin—or worried that your work would not be “good enough”? Are you an artist looking to bring more freedom, experimentation, and play into your creative practice? This five-week class offers a welcoming, low-pressure space to explore art journaling through color, texture, imagery, and expressive mark-making.

Students will create a personal mixed-media journal using acrylic paints and inks, collage, stencils, photographs, crayons, charcoal, handmade papers, found materials, text, and other creative tools. Through demonstrations, prompts, and time for experimentation, students will explore layering, composition, color, and a variety of techniques while developing their own visual voice.   By the end of the course, each student will have a unique journal documenting their creative process and growing artistic practice. No prior art experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to play.
