Craft: Introduction to Art journalling

Discover the wonderful world of art journaling with this creative course. Your tutor will guide you through the process of creating imaginative, reflective art journal layouts which are uniquely your own. You will have ample opportunity to ask questions, share your work and view others layouts in a friendly, supportive and non judgemental way in our online classroom.

We will be using our digital learning platform Canvas to set clear objectives and upload and share our completed works. During each session you will have the opportunity to comment on your classmates work, and receive feedback on your own, from both your tutor and fellow crafters.

This course will help:

• Develop your craft skills enabling you to create your own unique art journal pages from scratch.

• Create a personal keepsake that will help you express yourself and your emotions.

• Learn new ways to use paint, inks, stamps and stencils.
