**NEW** Winter 2018/2019 Online Classes

I am just bursting with joy over the fact that I have NEW online classes to offer you!!  

You have been asking for more online classes and more frequent online classes, so I've been a busy bee making that happen.  Going forward, you can expect new classes every quarter:

  • Winter Quarter is December, January, February
  • Spring Quarter is March, April, May
  • Summer Quarter is June, July, August
  • Fall Quarter is September, October, November

I am planning to offer FOUR new online classes every quarter.  Classes will follow a basic format:

  • Intensive Workshop: This is a workshop that has 20+ tutorial videos and will probably take you 1-3 months to complete, depending on how quickly you work.  
  • Mini Intensive Workshop: This is a workshop that is a little bit less of a time commitment.  Working intensely, you could complete the coursework in 2-6 weeks, depending on how quickly you work.  
  • Project Class: This is a class that teaches you how to create a specific project.  There are video instructions AND a downloadable .pdf with instructions.
  • Technique Class: This is a class that teaches you a specific technique through 1-2 video lessons. 

ALL classes include lifetime access.  Buy it once and you always have it!

Drum roll, please...

The classes for Winter 2018/2019 are as follows:

Intensive Workshop: Gelli Journal

This is a class that has been in the works for four years.  Seriously.  I filmed the first four videos in this workshop four years ago.  For the past five years, this has been one of my favorite art projects to take with me when I travel.  In class you will learn how to print directly into your journal -- including into that crack...

...and then transform those printed pages into colorful picture pages!

Here's what to expect from class:

  • There are more than 30 HD instructional videos.
  • What you see in these photos is just a tiny taste of what awaits in the classroom!
  • The online classroom is packed with written tips and take aways.
  • You can leave comments and questions and interact with other students, just as you would on a blog.
  • The first half of the class is all about gelatin printing directly into a sketchbook -- how to make sure you get the crack, how to fix problems that occur, how to create layers of color and pattern, how to keep pages from sticking together, etc.
  • Whether you're an experienced gelatin printer or you've never ever tried it before, this class is for you.  Experienced printers will proceed through the gelatin printing section quickly and less experienced or brand new printers will take their time going lesson-by-lesson.
  • The second half of the class is all about creating pictures in your printed journal.
  • You do not have to know how to draw.  I share methods for creating pictures by stamping and stenciling -- there's even a video on creating a stencil from a photograph!
  • If you want to try drawing, I share how to combine simple shapes to create wonderful pictures.
  • I share my tips on embellishing your pictures with gel pens, paint markers, and more.
  • I focus in on correcting "mistakes" (aka happy accidents) and getting the results that you want.
  • Take as much time as you want or need to complete the course.  Once you purchase "Gelli Journals," you have lifetime access.

PLEASE NOTE: The first four videos of this class have some auto-focus issues and so they go in and out of focus, as you can see in this YouTube video.  If the bouncing bothers you, do not sign up for class.  No refunds will be given.

Class begins December 1, 2018.

Mini Intensive Workshop: Notan or Expanded Square

Square-500
Notan or Expanded Square is a process of creating an entire work of art from a small piece of paper.  Essentially, you take a square of black paper and cut it with scissors and a craft knife.  Then you flip the pieces you've cut so that they mirror the empty holes. 

It's a simple idea, but the possibilities are enormous! In class I will show you the basics of the technique (of course) and discuss the philosophy of Notan.  I will also show you how to create pictoral Notan, as demonstrated in this video:

Here's what to expect from class:

  • Instruction is delivered through more than 15 HD videos.
  • Lessons cover all the basics: cutting with scissors, cutting with a craft knife, and there's even a video on how to use the ScanNCut to create Notan.
  • I will also show you how to create amazing pictures featuring animals, plants, and even people!
  • We will discuss how to use Notan in your other work and the kinds of design skills that it builds and reinforces.
  • You have lifetime access to the online classroom.

Project Class: Book of Color

Square-500
This is the kind of class I would normally offer as a full day in-person class and I'm so pleased to be offering it to you as an online class instead!  It's no surprise that I loooooove color.  But, I love using all of the colors on top of each other.  I decided to challenge myself and create a reference book containing monochromatic spreads.  In class I show you how to create the book from a single piece of paper.  It's super easy!  I show you how to create each colored spread.  And most importantly, I show you how to use the book as a reference tool.

Class includes:

  • Instruction via HD video.
  • Videos include: how to create the book, how to color in the book, how to use the book.
  • A downloadable .pdf of written instructions on creating the book.
  • You can leave comments and questions and interact with other students, just as you would on a blog.
  • You have lifetime access to class.

Technique Class: Marker Monoprints

Square-500
This is a technique that I discovered in April when I was looking for something cool and new to do on Make It Artsy.  Since April I have refined my technique and tried out lots of different brands and types of markers, plus lots of different techniques for printing.  If you've ever watched my "Exploring Art Products" videos on YouTube, this is in that style, but instead of investigating a product, I'm showing you all the ways to approach the technique of creating monoprints with markers.

Class includes:

  • Instruction via HD videos.
  • Tips and take aways in written form.
  • You can leave comments and questions and interact with other students, just as you would on a blog.
  • You have lifetime access to class.

HOWEVER, I am so super excited about this new online class programming that I am offering a NEW Project Class that is available right NOW.

LanternHouses-square-500
This is a fun and easy project with fabulous results!  Turn a simple piece of paper into a paper house with two windows and a door.  Slide an LED tea light into the house and you've got magic!  These little houses are perfect for a Thanksgiving or Christmas centerpieces.  Watch the video to see the magical flickering:

In class I show you how I like to layer collage, painting, stenciling, and stamping to create a colorful house.  But you can also use scrapbook paper, gelli prints,  plain paper -- whatever you like!

Class includes:

  • 3 instructional videos: Color & Collage, Cutting (by hand), and Construction.
  • There is a downloadable .pdf with the house template.
  • There is also a zip file containing both an .svg and .fcm file in case you'd like to do your cutting on an electronic cutter.
  • There is a downloadable .pdf with written directions.
  • You can leave comments and questions and interact with other students, just as you would on a blog.
  • You have lifetime access to class.
