Art Classes

Everyone is an Artist  …

Once upon a time we were all  craftspeople and artists.

Before there were cameras, we had our portraits painted.
Before there were factories, we had to go to the blacksmith for our cutlery,
we had to go to the carpenter for our furniture … you see where I am going with this.

Today everything is pre-made, leaving no outlet for our creativity, causing depression and anxiety, along with a lack of purpose.

INSIDE ALL OF US
IS AN ARTIST

A Guide to Art Journaling

In this life, we get the chance to create and then recreate the version of ourselves that feels most true to us. At any time, we get to sort through the pieces of ourselves and decide what pieces we will continue to grow and develop, and what pieces it might be time to let go of.

You will be guided through self inquiry and creating a life collage that embodies the layers of your everyday experiences. You’ll creatively honor stages of life through sorting pieces of yourself, with scraps of paper, fabric and various mediums to create a textured and meaningful collage – piecing together who you have become and what life looks like to you, in your personal art journal.

Collage & Montage

The words ‘collage’ and ‘montage’ both attribute to a technique of putting together various materials to create a single work of art.

Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were both pioneers in the creation of collage which caused a revolutionary art style in the 20th century. Picasso and Braque are said to be the ones who defined it using the French word “coller” meaning to glue or stick together. They were also mixed media artists in the way that they used different art mediums to complete their works.

In this class we will create your vision using acrylics, ephemera, pencils, pastels, and special treasures that you wish to incorporate.
