Description

We will explore the creative process and the imagination behind illustrated stories- our stories-and the marriage between words and images. The process of image making through drawing, painting and collage allows everyone the ability to give form to their imagination, while creative writing gives voice to your ideas and memories. We will cultivate your individual voices through the written word and a personal vision working with art mediums.

Sketchbook or notebooks, what is an art journal and why keep one? An introduction.

Paper, pencil, paint and photographs; what do you need to begin?  Choosing materials.

Words and inspiration; what goes into the journal? Writing it down, creative writing.

Creating images; finding your muse. Working with: Paint, Pencil, and Photographs
