Greetings Creatives~
This week's expressive art journal prompt is one I have used many times in my art journal.  Do you have a poem, quote. or lyrics that you would like to create a page spread around?  How do both words and visuals lift our mood?  What words mean a lot to us when we hear them? 

For this Thursday, you may bring any inspiring quotes, lyrics, or poetry you would like to add to your art journal.  Print them on computer or practice handwriting again! What?  Yes use your own handwriting or print words. 

Or, you are free to create a page around whatever prompt you need.  Anyway, come join me for this fun and intuitive class!
You are not required to bring anything although, words, scrap papers, old greeting cards surely help create a more meaningful page spread!

 "My heart sang the day I was guided to create these pages. Its song was one that asked me to get off of the page.
To observe my belief systems and limits. Then to push past them. I did this by using pliable metal objects on the piece.
Wanting to express in 3D instead of the two dimensional constructs of staying on the page, without making it too cumbersome 
for the  ‘book’. 
  This piece is a nice example of many techniques that Laura shows us. We created stencils. We created a paste that fit through stencils. Later painting them. This also took me off the page with some texture.. Adding some painting techniques like sprayed water colors 
and incorporating collage skills the journal entry came to life. 
I see this now and reflect on my continuing journey of self discovery.  Stretching the limits. 
Patiently climbing and descending stairs.  Moving between shadows and the light that creates them.
I am so grateful for this creative outlet that helps me to feel and document my journey in a personal way. "

in New Smyrna Beach. 
click link below for address, details,
and registration


Transform your own printed image
into a meaningful painted collage portrait! 
​
Greetings Fellow Creatives!
Join me in transforming a printed image of a hero, archetype, yourself,
a figure, or any printed face or figure you find appealing into a
painted portrait collage!

Honor yourself, a loved one, or chose an archetype as a central figure
to collage on board. Create personal meaning around this character
with words, poems, or other written memorabilia to honor the image. Need an ally, or to face the dragon?  You may also create an
imaginary character and use it as metaphor to help chronicle or
release your story.


Please bring the following!
Bring a portrait or figurative magazine image that resonates with you
in a symbolic way or bring a photocopy of yourself or loved one.
Also, any inspiring poems, words, images, fabrics, and other papers
that can be collaged into the artwork around this character.

No experience necessary.
