10-Minute Color Collage: A 7-Day Art Journaling Challenge to End Perfectionism

In this follow-up to my class 10-Minute Art Journaling: A 7-Day Challenge to Conquer Artist’s Block, we’ll explore new daily art prompts to break past perfectionism with art journaling.

We’ll focus on color, intuition, and play to fill 7 art journal pages with collage. This class is about the process, not the finished page. (But, you know what? You might just LOVE the finished pages, too!)

Completing this class won’t take a ton of time! We’ll assemble a creative supply kit in advance, and set a timer to fill an art journal page in just 10-minutes a day. These boundaries will help us to create quickly without getting overwhelmed.

This class will help you reconnect with your creativity, give you permission to play, and provide you with techniques for making creative choices more confidently.
