Hey there!
I'm super excited to share with you my creative class that's all about art journaling and journal writing. I've poured my heart and soul into crafting this experience because I want to give you a glimpse into my creative world and the process I use in my journaling journey.
In this class, we'll dive into the wonderful world of art journaling, where you'll get to explore different artistic techniques, experiment with various mediums, and let your creativity flow onto the pages of your journal. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, there's something here for everyone.
But that's not all! We'll also take a deep dive into the art of journal writing. I'll show you how to pour your thoughts, emotions, and ideas onto paper, helping you unlock the power of self-expression through words. It's a journey of self-discovery that can be both therapeutic and incredibly fulfilling.
So, if you're ready to embark on this creative adventure with me, I can't wait to have you join the class. Together, we'll unleash our inner artists and writers, and who knows what amazing discoveries we'll make along the way!
HOW TO CREATE WHAT YOU LOVE?
Each month, we'll embark on a new creative journey, guided by a unique theme and a specific skill to hone. This means you'll have fresh inspiration and techniques to explore every month, keeping things interesting and dynamic.
Now, let's talk about our approach. I've structured the class with four lessons per month to ensure that you're engaged and learning without feeling overwhelmed. These lessons are designed to be enjoyable and, most importantly, relaxing. No stress here!
One thing I'm really excited about is our six Zoom creative meetings for the year. It's an opportunity for us to connect face-to-face, share our progress, and discuss our creative experiences. Think of it as a virtual art journaling and journal writing community!
Don't worry if life gets a little busy – I get it! You can absolutely skip a lesson and still keep up with the class. Flexibility is key here, and your creative journey is meant to fit seamlessly into your life.
Here's a quick rundown of what you'll get with this class:
- Lifetime Access: You'll have access to all the materials and content, so you can revisit them anytime you want.
- Downloads: Resources, templates, and guides at your fingertips.
- Journal Prompts and Lessons: Inspiration to fuel your journaling and creativity.
- Art Journal/Art Lessons: Techniques and ideas to nurture your artistic side.
- Monthly Content: Fresh themes and skills to explore each month.
- Monthly Affirmations: Positive vibes to keep you motivated.
- Six Zoom Creative Meetups: The chance to connect and share with fellow creatives.
So, get ready for a relaxing, fun, and flexible creative journey that's tailor-made for you. I can't wait to see you in action and explore the world of art journaling and journal writing together!
