Collage journaling is an incredible way to quiet the inner critic because it shifts the focus from "drawing perfectly" to arranging, collecting, and trusting your eye. This 4-session course is a hands-on exploration of composition, texture, and visual storytelling. Students will learn how to look at everyday ephemera as art supplies, master adhesive techniques, and use intuitive prompts to overcome blank-page anxiety. By the end of this class, you will have the foundation of a personal visual practice and a journal of your own creative voice.
