WHAT IS THIS CLASS ABOUT?
In this class, there are no mistakes, only potential! We'll do a simple art exploration to embrace flexible thinking and the unexpected ideas that surface when you allow your imagination to run free.
We'll start by looking at a few images including a couple of pages from the book Beautiful Oops, which highlights the beauty in using your imagination to overcome mistakes or to kick-start new ideas. We'll then move into a fun creative prompt to create our own unique art pieces pulled from our imagination.
This is not a copy-me-exactly class — instead, it encourages flexibility in thinking. Many tentative artists leave my class feeling more joyful about the possibilities that can come from making a mistake. Finished artworks may not be refrigerator-worthy; this class is very much about exploration and finding joy in the unexpected!*
