Drawing on the idea of a daily journal practice you will explore and expand your own personal artistic style.  Often it is less daunting or intimidating to explore the development of new ideas and images in the smaller format and repetitive nature of a journal. This class works uses specific parameters and the student’s established journal practice in a non-verbal, purely visual practice. By developing and maintaining a non-linear journal over 6 months we will explore how journals can lead to exciting artistic discoveries and insight. Having taken Keeping Creative Visual Journal can be helpful but not necessary.
