Students will develop a fully-realized original piece of artwork – guided by me, led by their own creative intuition, and embracing any mistakes they make along the way. We’ll gather inspiration, make a few rough sketches, and develop one of those sketches into an original artwork using materials that bring ease and comfort.

Share your projects with the class!

Whether you choose to share process photos of your sketches, a work-in-progress (WIP) photo, or your finished piece, I’d love to see and celebrate what you’ve made.

Remember:

Don’t overthink it! Sometimes just making marks on a page can lead us to something really beautiful.
Use materials that bring ease and comfort. Your work should feel yours – it doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.
Art doesn’t need to feel serious or sacred. We can create for the joy of creating and it will be imperfect and that’s more than okay.

Resources:

You don’t need expensive materials to make something meaningful – I’ve made art on printer paper for years and still love using it. Here are links to some of the tools and materials I use:
