Art Journaling - Magic of Metaphors

What You Will Learn?

• Hello! My name is Karen Dawn and in this class, I will teach you an intuitive method for personal art-making using collage and metaphor. .
• The goal is to help you uncover what might not be obvious by exploring one of your stories - you know, the kind that you tell yourself over and over again - the stories you want to rewrite. .
• We will be working with collage images, so grab a few magazines, glue, and scissors. You'll also want some paint and anything else that you might be able to adhere to a page in your art journal. .
• We use collage with the intention to learn what it has to teach and because it's fun, easy, and accessible to most people regardless of creative skill. .
• My goal here is to show you how to get out of your head, let go of over-thinking everything, and dive into a creative adventure..
• Along the way, I will share many tips and tricks that I have learned in my 6+ years of Art Journaling..
• Once we get started you'll begin discovering the metaphors of your story. I'll be sharing with you what comes up for me, as I dig deeper into what I have created..
• It's really interesting when we allow ourselves to just create, without any preconceived ideas, just inspired action. So let go of what you "think" you want to create and open yourself up to the journey that wants to be unfolded. .
