Making art is a journey in self discovery. It begins with an inherent need for self-expression. Each of us has a unique voice all our own. You may have been doodling one-eyed cats or building ambitious forts since you were a child or maybe only recently discovered your love of making 5 tiered cakes or photographing civil war era battles re-enacted by your pet rabbits, the important thing is that you have a passion and desire to express your own personal and unique experiences through art.
This course is aimed at finding and developing your voice as an artist, you may already be a practicing artist or illustrator who needs to bring refinement, focus, or new ideas to your work or someone creative and inspired simply in need of more direction on where to begin. The course is structured to provide weekly assignments aimed at discovering who you are as an artist and what you have to say with your art. We will use nature, existing art, and your own imagination as sources for inspiration!
