Description

Art journaling is used as a way of developing art skills whilst working on your self esteem and general well-being. It can be used daily as a part of your self-care practice. This course will teach you new skills and develop existing ones, giving you an opportunity to harness your creativity in a way which is relaxing, cathartic and can enable you to feel inspired to take on your next challenge.

Who is this course for?
This course is for you if you are creative or would like to be able to express yourself through art. You do not need to have any prior skills. It is also for those who feel they need to improve their well-being by learning some mindfulness through art expression. Our courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.

How will I learn?
This is a classroom-based course and is progressive, with one course of six sessions per term. Each course will help to develop your skills and build on existing skills and will use a range of art mediums. The tutor will guide you and prompt you with practical activities, different themes, explanations and examples. You will work individually but as part of a small group and will be able to continue to work on your art journaling at home. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.

What will I need?
The tutor will supply all resources but you may want to bring some of your own resources too, if you have them, such as: scissors, paints, brushes, pens, pencils and different patterned papers.
