INFUSE YOUR ART JOURNAL WITH EMOTION
The Heart Journal is a very special e-course, designed to get you connecting with your emotional self, and exploring her in your art journal.
We’ll look at how great artists have conveyed emotion in their own work, and draw inspiration from them. We’ll spend time thinking about our artistic media and how we can best use them to communicate our feelings. We’ll think about our own relationships with different emotions, and what we think about them. And most importantly, we’ll take everything we learn and use it to create expressive, satisfying, rewarding works of art.
If you’d like to start putting your heart into your art journal, then this course will help you find ways to do just that.

Should I choose the one-time payment or membership option?
You have the option for purchasing this class on its own or as part of the membership.
The choice depends on how you create.
Membership: the Get Messy membership is here for the creative soul with restless hands and a busy mind (and schedule), ready to cultivate a consistent art habit that allows you to release your truth, emotions and dreams onto the page. For those who prefer to live an all-encompassing creative life with catalysts that spur on the creative habit.
One-time payment: for the creative who loves knuckling down and diving deep into a class. Someone who prefers to focus on one thing and take the time it requires before moving onto the next. The bonus is that you get to keep the class forever and it will wait for you during your busy seasons and be there when you’re ready again. You might also be wanting to test the Get Messy teaching style out a bit and this is a good way to dip your toes in.
What format do I receive the class in?
Upon purchase, you will be redirected to create a login for the private site. You can choose your own username and password. All of your content is accessible to you under one username.
The class will be available through this private site, along with a workbook in PDF format for you to download and print.
Do I have to start on a specific date?
No, this is a self-paced class. You start when you are ready and work according to your own rhythm.
How long do I have access to this class?
As long as you are a Get Messy member.
Can I share my work and what I learn in this class?
