8/20 Creating a visual diary - sliding scale

Creating a Visual Diary

Would you like to develop a regular journaling practice that is flexible, creative, and unique to you? Keeping a visual diary is both a useful personal practice, and a valuable tool for artists to develop their own voice, style, and techniques. You don’t have to know how to draw, you can work in any medium, and it can be as expansive or as minimal as your life requires.

In this workshop we’ll discuss what makes a visual diary, look at examples, and talk about ideas for making your own, and then you’ll have time to experiment. (If you are an experienced visual journaler or have attended one of these workshops before, you're welcome to get started as soon as you arrive!) Paper and drawing materials will be provided, but feel free to bring anything of your own that you’re accustomed to working with - sketchbook, tablet, other materials.

All ages welcome. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult or responsible tween/teen.

If you have questions or access needs, please use the "contact organizer" button.
