WORKSHOP CONTENT

An art diary reflects our moods and creativity by working with colors and shapes. It also leaves room for words, but to a lesser extent than a traditional journal. The sessions also allow you to discover or deepen various artistic techniques and mixed media.

Personalized sessions: I adapt the sessions according to the needs of the group. For example, a workshop theme can be adjusted from one class to the next depending on the group’s progress. The technique of journal art encourages creativity by connecting with oneself without pressure of performance or results.
