Documenting Your Days 🆕

with Abbey Sy

How do we make our days count?

In this class, artist, author, and journal lover Abbey Sy shares ways on how to document your life as it happens—with art, photos, and writing as mediums. The main goal of this class is to open up possibilities of finding beauty in the every day through journaling with key prompts that will unlock creative self-discovery.

From documenting daily, weekly, monthly, to starting a hobby journal, you’ll find ways to make documenting a fun habit to add to your creative pursuits.

Body of Art

with Caylee Grey

The Aesthetics of Anatomy

Body of Art is the journey of seeing your body as art itself. For too long, we’ve been told we’re not enough, we take up too much space, we are too emotional, we’re too everything. We forget that when it really comes down to it, we are works of art. We’re our own creative project, our body is our canvas.

The journey we’re going on is one in which we stand back and stop hearing what everyone else thinks about our bodies, and start seeing our bodies as art. Just like when looking at a painting, when we take a step back, we’re able to take in the details and see the beauty. 

We are bringing our body down to its building blocks – to the basic elements of art. There are 7 elements visible in every piece of art. Your body is no different. Each lesson in Body of Art is dedicated to one: Line, Shape, Form, Color, Space, Texture, Value (with Mark Making & Materiality as a bonus)

What is your body saying?

Courageous Adventures in Art Journaling 

with Claudette Hasenjager and Char DeRouin

Expose It, Ink It, Grunge It, Explore It, Color It, Wreck It, and Tag It!

Explore the idea of exposing moments of inspiration within our journals at the start of a new creative project. Explore inks and a few inky techniques. Explore techniques to use within your journal to create intricate, textured, messy layers. Bring out your inner rock n roller. Ask, “What if?” and explore ideas or techniques you’ve been curious about. Pull out the paints and start adding some color! Get courageous, adventurous, and seriously bold, and go out of your comfort zone. Play with fabric scraps, messy stitching, and gathered elements to create tags of motivation and inspiration.
