Visual Art Journaling

Instructor:

Brian Williams

In this visual art journaling class, students will express themselves by creating works of art through painting techniques that become abstract, traditional, or a bit more.

We’ll focus on using art to dive deep within the soul, allowing us to release inner turmoil, struggles, pleasures, pain, happiness, and joys and place them on the canvas.

Each Session will begin with a 5 min journaling segment where the individual can illustrate or write out their daily feelings, thoughts, or ideas.
Week 1: INTRODUCTION: beginning the session with journaling and light drawing to illustrate expectations, current self, week, days, desire and more.
Week 2: AFFIRMATION ART: Using Paints, paint markers, Pens and “hello My name is” stickers to illustrate Affirmations of self for encouragement, beliefs, and growth.
Week 3: BOUNDARIES:  Creating artwork in which the individual will use a shape to create will be seen as a “boundary” of their environment. Doing this the individual will illustrate what boundaries look like to them to reflect upon for self.
Week 4: VISIONBOARD/ “MIRRORS ” : Creating artwork in which the individual will Paint a “mirror” on the canvas. This Project will inspire the individual  to create an Illustration of what they see for themselves from the past, the present, and future. It can be a self portrait or a painting of what they feel inspired by or using a magazine cut out to help.
Week 5: HIGH/ LOW: Creating work of art in which the individual will use warm and cool tone colors to illustrate high points of their week or day, as well as low points of a week or day.
Week 6: MIND MAPPING: Using a mind map to create ideas for personal goals, life goals, family or more. This can be illustrated to show the branches of ideas we create with sub ideas to help our growth along the way.
Week 7: RE-MIND: This will be a project where the individual will illustrate or create a work of art that reflects the past, fond memories from their childhood and how it impacts them now.
Week 8: FAMILY TREE: this will be a project in which will create work that inspires growth within self and within family. The painting will create a tree where it will show how the individual wants to grow, expand and become fruitful .
