Art Journaling
With Artist Cheryl Robertson

Monday Evening Class begins May 15
2 Spots Left!
Wednesday Afternoon Class begins May 17
FULL


Let your inner child loose in this explorative 6-week class with PA Artist Cheryl Robertson. You’ll be introduced to a variety of artistic media and create an art journal with your new designs, illustrations, and expressions that you can take home with you and continue to embellish long after the 6 weeks are over. The best part? This class focuses on the process of creating rather than the final product. There are no rules! Art journaling eases stress by getting the chaos out of your head and onto the paper as you cut, paste, paint, and draw. If you’re new to creating, this is a perfect, stress-free introduction; if you’re a seasoned artist, this course may be the impetus to let yourself have some fun with your art and experiment with new materials!
