New Art Journaling Class Starting Saturday May 31st
What is Art Journaling?
Art journaling is about the creative
process of pulling together colour, words and images onto a page. Unlike other
forms of art, this is not about the outcome, it’s about the process. An art journal is only for you - there is nothing
to stop you from sharing, but an art journal is your safe place for
experimentation and for play.’
What do you learn?
In this 6 class series students will learn
the basics of art journaling. The
students will experiment with different supplies (teacher provided) to help
them find their preferred mediums.
The course is intended to enable the creative souls of participants to emerge on the page.
Liz Aitken
Liz is a part time mixed media artist,
doodler and art teacher who loves making a mess. She has an unhealthy obsession
with paint and supplies.
She is based in Melbourne Australia.

Workshop Outline
CLASS 1: Art Journal Laboratory
In this class we cover the course in
general, and surfaces. Students will
learn how much their paper can cope with, limitations of surface choice and how
to change your surface.
Students will test a range of Liz’s own
products on various surface preparations, creating 2 journal spreads in this
class. This provides the basis for
learning to layer.
CLASS 2: Colour my
World
Students will learn all about colour theory
and create their own colour wheel, embedding it onto a journal page.
Students will also learn some of the tips
and tricks to using different types of paint – changing opacity as required,
and creating layers.
CLASS 3: Making your Pages Speak
In this class
students start the journey to loving their handwriting. We cover Journal spilling and how to write
your own fancy headings.
We also start cutting into the edges of our
pages – a journal should never be a “sacred object”.
CLASS 4: Collage, Ink & Stamps
Students will learn to create a fantastical
collage that utilises magazine pages, paint and ink. We will cover sources, copyright, how to
maximise the value of shapes.
We also cover the basics of ink and how best
to use different types.
CLASS 5: Texturize That!
This session is all about
Extreme Texture – how to get it, and how to maximise its value with paint and
ink.
This class also deals with the creation of
foreground and background texture.
CLASS 6: Altered Images
This class is all about image transfers. Students will learn about how to do an image
transfer into a journal, the best time to use a transfer instead of collage and
how to incorporate transfers into layers.
In every class
Students receive a comprehensive set of
notes both for reference and reinforcement. The notes also include instructions
on how to complete the class spread and how-to’s for homework spreads to be
done in the intervening month.
Students also receive a list
of internet links, and some art journal inspiration around the class theme.
All of this for $40.00 a month.....
