"Do you need help being more creative? Consider Art Journaling. Art Journaling is a mixed media artform involving words, imagery, and colour. Some materials we'll use include paint, pens, paper ephemera, printed text, written words, found and painted papers, images, inks and stamps, or anything you pull out of your pockets or bags; the sky is the limit! We'll explore drawing, painting, writing, collaging, and sketching, with an aim to play and explore. It can be a tool to document, remember, and express details of your daily life while developing and exploring your creativity.”
Art Journaling starts Wednesday, January 8th to January 29th from 11:00am to 12:00noon at the Victoria Centre. Register online or call 250 388-4268 for more information.
