Art Journaling: Limited Composition & Mark Making
Let’s transform old library books into lovely art journals. This class is perfect for someone just getting into making art but will also have novel techniques (or nonfiction) that will be interesting to the experienced artist. Learn how to repurpose a hardcover book using gesso, acrylic paint, writing tools and stencils. We will explore using what you find in the book for inspiration. If you have an art journal you would like to work in you are welcome to bring it.
 
We will introduce an element of play by using dice to make some of our design decisions. Our biggest decision will be on color selection. We will talk about the idea of using dice to take the pressure off decision making and as a way to limit your composition. We will talk about the value of setting limits when working in your art journal.
 
I focus on gratitude in my art journals, but they can be used in many ways to help you reach goals and improve your art skills, overall health, and satisfaction with your life. An art journal is a great place to experiment with art supplies and different techniques. We will do an art journal page layout using acrylic paints, junk mail or scrap paper and a variety of stencils, paint markers and pens. We will explore two elements of design – line and value. Line is as simple as it sounds but contains a world of possibilities for us to explore. Value is how light or dark a color is and we will paint junk mail and scrap paper with one color mixed with white and black to make a variety of papers that will work beautifully together. We will tear and cut these papers up to make an interesting composition in our art journals. Then we will finish the pages with additional mark making and adding a focal point. All supplies are provided AND includes a delicious beverage!
