Review: Art Journal Background Steps
Conclusion
What You Will Learn?
- This class introduces you to the creative pastime of art journaling that's become hugely popular all over the world. The best thing about art journaling is that it's all about the process; you don't have to be an artist to enjoy the benefits of mindfulness, creative exploration, and even self-discovery as you fill up pages with personal creations made during that time set aside just for you to relax and enjoy. .
- We'll begin by talking about how to get started; what materials you'll need and what you can expect to gain from this creative experience. From there, we'll move on to the project of making a mixed media background, upon which you are free to add your own personal expression, whether it be a favorite quote you print out and and paste down, or a visual image you want as your focal point. Each step is demonstrated with plenty of tips to keep you on the right track. .
- I am thrilled to have you join me in this class. Enjoy!.
