It can be very hard to dig deep and put our hearts and heartbreaks into our art. In this class I give you techniques to make art about hard stuff, through the creation of a personal symbol! I created this class to give you techniques on how to infuse more of yourself and your story into your artwork and to give you some “do’s and don'ts” about how to share your very personal art in the world.

Art can be a way to express what we are feeling on the inside to the outside world. The most powerful artwork I have seen typically comes out of hard stuff. Together in this class we are going to create a personal symbol that represents something we care about and the symbol we create we can start using in our art practice.

In this class…

We look at past and present artists who use difficult subject matter in their art.
We will create a personal symbol for our own work.
We will write about our personal symbol statement.
We will weigh the pros and cons for sharing personal stories in our artwork.

Who is this class for?
This class is for any creative who wants to share more of themselves in their artwork and is not sure how to do this. This class is for any skill level and instead of teaching an art making technique we will take us through a journey of self-reflection and taking stock of our own art practice. I believe art is important. I believe we all have a story to share and I created this class as I wish I had had a guide to help me plan and decide how to make art about tough stuff. Thank you for coming along with me on this important journey together!

Who am I?
I am Jamie Smith- an artist, teacher and founder of an online community of female-identifying artists called the Thrive Together Network. I’m a creative entrepreneur through and through and believe the world needs more creativity and entrepreneurship. My personal motto is “Do The Work'' and this class is a guide to help you to do your important work. Let’s do it together!
