This is an interactive journey that extends far beyond the screen. You'll be invited to spend time with your art journal, engage in deep contemplation, and explore the many layered dimensions of abstract expressionism, both on the page and on the canvas. This is where reflection meets creation, and where your inner world begins to take form through art.Together we will: Explore the inner realms utilizing the insightful tools on inquiry as we adventure into the creative depths of abstract expressionism utilizing mixed media, meditation, creative writing with storytelling and poetry, along with integrating the potency of collage. Utilize our mixed media journal to act as not only the container for what will emerge, but as the portal for our own inner transformation that has yet to come. Explore the wild garden of our innermost realms exploring multiple types of mixed media as we step through the portal and into what is possible using our mixed media art journals, composition notebook or other form of media; and taking those mediums with us to be used on the canvas. Create a unique to you, one-of-a-kind, piece of art that explores a unique process of introspection and exploration. This is more than just an art course, it is a journey that begins with you and ends on the canvas. What happens after that? That is up to you. Remember:This process is about the journey, and not the outcome. It isn't meant to be neat, clean or tidy. Its messy, chaotic, and unruly, and in that imperfectly perfect process of becoming, is something incredible. It's a representation of the the authentic inner you beyond structures, guidelines and rules. It allows us the opportunity to alter our perception and shift into a new truth or awareness.
