Music + Composition Journals: An Art Journaling Class Information

music + composition journals: an art journaling adventure
Hello!

Goodness, this post has been long awaited on my part. I began the basic planning for this in mid-May, then June hit and I had no time. So, let's say that I am very excited and ready for this class to begin. :D My Life Story Class was such a success, that I knew "teaching" is where my heart is and I'm jumping at the chance to work for myself again.

This class is melding two worlds that I'm really passionate about. Music and Art Journaling.
Small excerpts from the class:

Music has undoubtedly always been a vibrant fixture in my life. I usually always have it on and may be a little of a music-addict. My poor iTunes sees more than it probably wants to and I’m sure my parents aren’t great appreciators of how often it plays and how
loud.

The evolution of this class has been really exciting for me. It was prompted when one of my best friends asked me why I listened to music. I hadn’t really thought about that question before and it took me a few minutes to articulate my thoughts. I suppose I listen to music because I have to...

and

This is where art journaling comes in. I art journal in an 8.5x11 composition book. It’s easy, very wrinkly, and carefree. I don’t feel pressured to create an amazing piece of artwork or journal something especially profound that I’ll look back on and go, “golly, that sure was profound”. It’s more of a verbal and artistic throw up. Lovely,eh? ;)

This class is simply an introduction into my process of art journaling. I’ll walk you along the steps that I take to begin and to create.

We will be making a composition book art journal, with step by step instructions, to create our art journal pages in. Everyday there will be several prompt ideas and a technique highlight. The actual altered compostion book we make doesn't have to necessarily be only of the pages you make in the class, but just a new format for any future art journaling.

Other things that are included: Random giveaway, an amazing Guest Designer and her examples, 1 Video Post(in which I'm sure I'll talk about absolutely nothing), and a printable embellishment page.


The Breakdown:
  • This is a 5 Day Class beginning on Monday, July 13th and concluding on the 17th.
  • The class will be sold through my Etsy shop or PayPal for $14.50.
  • You will be given access to the private blog and Supply List immediately after buying the class.
  • The Class will be sold from July 6th through the 13th.
  • The blog will be open two weeks after the class concludes. When those two weeks are up, I will send out a PDF which you can easily save and print.
Note on my teaching style(which is very similar to my Life Story Class if you took that)-

I am not step by step kind of instructor, this class doesn't have detailed techniques, and exact formulas to put things together. I'm more a gentle encourager, giving ideas and journaling prompts. This class is more of a workshop, than a class.

Eeek! I am just brimming with excitement. Peaks of the projects coming all this week! :)
