art journal online workshop ~ allowed to

Curious about art journaling? Looking for new inspiration? Then this self-paced course is for you! For beginners and beyond, the online workshop covers all art journaling essentials to get started or to keep going. Along with all the how-to's you might need, art journal flip throughs, set to music, are sure to inspire as well.

The workshop consists of 3 modules that are readily completed in an afternoon, but you'll have lifetime access to all materials.

Plus, you won't have to navigate a complicated platform. If you can watch a YouTube video, you can complete this workshop comfortably in your own home. It's that easy!

You will receive:

Lifetime access to 8 art journaling videos (about 1 hour in total). From basic supplies you likely already have to facing the blank page, along with lots of other how-to's, these videos cover all of the basics and more.

An art journal workbook with 10 activity pages (download) that complement the videos. Each activity has options to move forward with additional art journaling activities. The best part? You'll be building a stash of collage papers for your journal or mixed media art.

10 art journal prompts to spark your imagination (download).

You don't need a fancy computer or lots of technical abilities to join the workshop. Once you register, I will create a user name and password for you. Don't worry about losing it - I will keep it on file for you.

Then, you just follow the link to the workshop webpage that I'll share with you via email, along with your user name and password. On the 'allowed to' webpage, you'll find a short guide to the workshop and all the links to the downloads and videos. Super easy!

Looking for a bit more detail? Here's a short summary of the 3 workshop modules:

Module 1 In this first module, I introduce art journaling and the basic, low cost materials that are needed. You likely already have most of the supplies you'll need. The module also includes a “flip through” of a mini art journal. A bonus lesson on creating accordion journals is also provided.

Module 2 This module is all about preparation – from collecting to sorting. The module also includes a more detailed sorting video as well as an extra video where I briefly discuss why I often work in two journals at the same time.

Module 3 Beginning, layering, and finishing are the topics of this last module of 'allowed to.' There's also a flip through of a journal that I’ve called ‘my grandmother’s story.’
