Last week's stencil winners will be posted tomorrow.
I've got a new online class for you! It's called "30 Days in Your Journal" and it's all about the practice of daily diary-style art journaling.
Each day we will combine writing and arting until we have built up beautiful, complex, layered, journal pages.
Every single day for 30 days you will get a power packed blog post! Each blog post consists of:
- A video tutorial: A daily 5- 20 minute video where I work in my journal, describing everything I'm doing and the thinking behind it.
- A supply list: Each day the supplies used that day are clearly listed so you can easily gather your supplies and work along with the video.
- A substitution list: A list of suggested product substitutions is provided every day. This is not a class that requires you to go out and buy a bunch of stuff if you don't want to. I try to show you a lot of different supplies in use, and then indicate what else you might have on hand to use instead.
- A list of take-aways: This is not a class where you are meant to copy what I do exactly. If you want to, awesome! But my goal is to inspire and empower you. So after every video lesson I have posted a list of lessons I hope you'll take away and put into use in your own journal.
This class is hosted on a private password protected blog. There is also a flickr gallery for sharing photos, with a private discussion forum so that we can build a community and chat about the class and our journals.
In addition, I will be in the classroom and the forum every single day responding to comments and questions.
Class starts on November 1, 2011. You can join anytime and you will have access to the classroom forever.
The thing that I think is the most interesting about this class is that you get to peek into my brain.
It's the kind of class that I have always wanted to take -- not only getting new ideas for techniques and design, but understanding why the artist made the choices that he/she made.
The tone of each lesson is conversational -- as if we're sitting together playing in our art journals and sharing supplies.
I'm using all of my favorite techniques in this class -- the ones I use on a daily basis that are quick and easy to do.
This class is meant to empower.
I hope to give beginners enough guidance to get started journaling with confidence and give advanced journalers some new ideas to contemplate.
That's 30 videos, 30 blog posts, 30 days of techniques and inspiration for just $50.
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you in the classroom!
