Expand Your Writing With Art

Using art in simple ways in our journal can provide valuable information we can’t access with  words alone.  Through the language of colours, lines, shapes, symbols and images in many forms, art can connect us more directly to our intuition and subconscious.

Combined with writing, it increases the connexions within the brain, which fosters creativity and insight.

In this class, we will look at simple ways to add visual elements to a written page and learn to get comfortable expressing ourselves with drawing. We will learn a wide variety of techniques like opening windows in our pages, transforming the raw material of pages into something healing, and exploring different kinds of collage, etc.

The topics are:

• Lesson 1: Creative invitations: the basics
• Lesson 2: The world of drawing
• Lesson 3: The world of collage
• Lesson 4: Containing vs expanding
• Lesson 5: Openings : the door technique
• Lesson 6: The alchemy of mixed media
• Lesson 7: Healing art
• Lesson 8: Closing with mandalas

You will be invited to get into right-brain mode, explore spontaneously, dive deeply and also to play!  No art skills necessary. Anne-Marie Jobin presents each lesson’s exercices via video and she is available to answer your questions.

Nothing is live – you follow at your own pace.
