Skillshare teacher Nikkolas Smith

Tap into a cause you feel passionate about — one that's important to you, your community, or the world at large — and express it fearlessly on your canvas. You’ll begin with an inspiring and empowering class with Nikkolas Smith about using art to push for change. Then, you’ll join Temi Coker for some collage poster-making to bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re a practiced artist who wants to express yourself differently through your art, an activist looking for a new form of protest, or a beginner looking to discover your own voice and style, you’re in the right place! You’ll need access to the paints of your choice and Photoshop. All levels welcome.

Workshop Timeline

First up, join concept artivist Nikkolas Smith in Artivism: Create Inspiring Art for Change, a Skillshare Original. Nikkolas explores how to translate your reactions to the world around you into meaningful art with clear, effective messaging; how to connect with yourself through your art; and how to use speed painting to keep your work free and passionate. Share your work in the Project Gallery by October 12th.
Next, join digital artist Temi Coker in Digital Poster Design: Combining Images & Type for Powerful Visuals, a Skillshare Original. Temi walks you through his unique approach to digital collage, the perfect medium for artivist posters! Instead of creating a poster about someone you love (the standard project for this class), this is your chance to create a poster for change. Share your work in the Project Gallery by October 26th.
