Art Journaling is the creation of a sketchbook or journal full of creative exploration, personal investigation, and artistic record keeping. Perfect for beginners as well as experienced artists, art journaling provides both a creative practice space as well as a low-pressure outlet for externalizing what we might otherwise keep inside.

In this second installment of "Themes in Art Journaling - Assembling Bits and Pieces" we will work with small shapes and modular elements to assemble larger imagery and explore how the Whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts. You'll discover how simple geometric shapes can create facets of a gem or shards of broken glass, how cutting and reassembling a casual drawing can become an intriguing abstraction, and how a collection of simple elements becomes a powerful assembly This is a process based class, so you can come in as a true novice and still succeed. I have attached a general mixed media kit materials list if you are interested, but you can arrive empty handed and be just fine! You do not have to have attended any previous workshops within this series to participate in this one.
