Gather your art materials for an afternoon of artistic experimentation designed to strengthen creative muscles and deepen skills in visual expression. 

Begin with an inspiring hour of guided discussion and visual presentation to spark insight into your creative process. Then, engage in a series of hands-on journaling explorations designed to strengthen visual expression and deepen creative awareness. Through three warm-ups and five distinct modes of visual thinking—memory, observation, imagination, narrative, and experimentation—complete eight expressive exercises using the marking and mapping approach. Share your creations and reflections in community and leave with a meaningful collection of your visual journal pieces.

All levels welcome.
