This two-day workshop is an
introduction for those new to art journaling, as well as those who are already

Art journaling is not about making
art, it is about using the process of art making as a vehicle for
creative inquiry, self-discovery and growth through a transformative and
multifaceted art and life practice.
Honor your experiences, deepen your
understanding of the life journey you are on, explore your connection to your
own stories, symbols and myths.

an intention as the foundation of a journal entry
§
create
layered backgrounds
§

various collage techniques
§

words onto the journal page
All materials will be
provided, participants are asked to bring with them collage materials such as:
magazine pictures or words, scraps of decorative papers, copies of old photos,
and any bits of ephemera, for example: receipts, ticket stubs, postcards. Bring
anything that has meaning for you, is part of a story in your life or simply
catches your eye for any reason, even if that reason is not clear to you at the
moment. Collecting materials is an intuitive process.
ART RESOURCE CLUB - $25 for 5

Watch Art Instruction Videos, Hosted by Artist Joan Handschumacher
5 Tuesdays -
February 2 - March 1, 12:30 - 3:30 PM
We will get together over a byo lunch and then watch and discuss an art instruction video. The gallery will provide coffee, tea, and cookies. We will have an assortment
of videos available for watching at the gallery. Although some subjects may be
relevant to all members, depending on member preferences, we may alternate
between the various media - watercolor, acrylic/oil, pastel.
This group could end up to run indefinitely, especially as members
may wish to share favorite DVD’s from their personal libraries. However, on
March 8, 15, 22, and 29, we will plan to attend the Galleries in Motion series
of art lectures on Tuesday afternoons at the Guilford and Madison libraries.
