Want to take your journaling practice to the next level? Learn how to go beyond the written word with art journaling.

In this class you'll learn how to art journal using hand-drawn images and color. Art journaling is a wellness tool that incorporates creativity, exploration of expression, mindfulness, and connectivity to self.

Everyone can join, if you “cannot draw” ask your kindergarten self: could they draw? The answer would be a definite “yes”! You can use stick figures, shapes, lines, scribbles, patterns, shading and lots of color. The point is not the finished product, it’s the journey.

Once you understand the concept and structure, you will be able to self guide your own art journaling practice. I will also post some prompts that will outline a specific goal, like for example “self love” or “letting go”. This class is useful because, journaling is already a powerful tool, the addition of images brings it to another level. The fact that this type of journaling is portable and readily available allows the person to have an immediate release.

Required materials: blank sketchbook, and any of the following in any combination: pencils, pens, eraser, colored pencils, markers, crayons, or watercolors. You want something that is portable, doesn’t smudge and dries quickly.

Note: this is not a drawing class — I will be teaching you about the practice of art journaling, not technical drawing tips.
