Finding Your Creative Voice: The Many Faces of Self
June 27-28, 2009
This class is constructed for you to learn how to access that unique voice within yourself so that you can express your creative spirit in an introspective and honest way while learning a plethora of computer, photographic, and drawing skills.
This class will explore the use of computer self-portraiture, paint, pastel and pen techniques to create a journal that will excavate our creative voice.
I will provide the computers and printer so that we will be able to learn a variety of techniques using iphoto, photoshop and photobooth to capture our image in a unique way. We will then print out these and use them to create meaningful journal pages. You will learn quick and easy background pages and several fast journal-binding techniques.
The ideas taught in this class will provide a springboard for you to use as an inspiration for all of your work.
