In this class we will combine mindful drawing and intuitive collage to promote a sense of calm and connecting with ourselves, and with the present moment through pressure-free creative play.

This class is for everyone, whatever your skill or experience level - you don’t need any drawing skills whatsoever to benefit from this class as we will be working with simple repeated shapes, and I’ll be providing templates, examples and detailed demonstrations to support you through the process, but I’ll also suggest some ways for those who may have more experience to develop their work further for those who like a challenge!

BEFORE WE DIVE IN...

It's not required to complete this class (there's a separate Class Resource PDF to support you with that), but it's a free resource lots of folks that love drawing patterns have LOVED - it's so fun turning your 2D collages into something 3D - so I thought you might love it too!

BENEFITS

A mindful art-making practice has so many benefits!

It is relaxing and meditative: an amazing self-care tool to help support your mental health
No drawing skills are needed whatsoever
Very basic supplies you’ll already have - some paper, drawing materials, scissors and glue
Easily adapted to suit you - your supplies, style, how much time you want to spend, and how confident you feel with the processes
Can help overcome fear of the blank page as it’s a super low-pressure creative activity which doesn’t have to look a certain way
If you have a wider art & design practice this can be a great way to explore color, patterns and composition styles you could incorporate into your wider art practice
It makes a fantastic activity to help bust creative block and re-spark creativity when you’re feeling stuck

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In this class, we will cover:

Color as a powerful tool for self-care
Three different approaches to drawing patterns mindfully
Paper cutting as an opportunity for meditative creative play
Using composition as a method to visualize our mindful intentions

I will be completing a class project alongside you in separate demonstration videos - so you can see exactly how I put these ideas into practice. You’re welcome to follow along with me, or do things your own way.

By the end of the class, you’ll have:

A gorgeous series of colorful abstract pattern collages
An effective self-care tool you can use in your daily life to cultivate a sense of calm and connecting with the present moment

I can’t wait to see what you create, so let's dive in!
