Art Journaling for Beginners

This 6-week course will cover the basics of getting started with art journaling, explore why we art journal, the most common art journaling supplies, various art journaling styles, and create art journal pages using a very common style: mixed media. After six weeks, participants will be equipped to venture into the pages of their art journal on their own. No prior art journaling experience is required. All skill levels are encouraged and welcome.
