Do you enjoy journaling? Do you think visually? Would you like to improve your skills to express yourself creatively in the language of art? Join us on the second Saturday of the month, (see dates below), at Backstreet Bagels for sketch journaling workshops. This series of classes will improve skills of observation and expression using a variety of art media for recording daily life experiences, travel experiences, and experiences in the wild. With each class addressing separate skills, classes need not be taken sequentially, in a strict order. Choose, (like a menu), the classes you wish to take. Each class will conclude with suggested exercises to hone your skills and keep you motivated.
SESSION ONE: “Capturing the Big Picture” With a focus on developing good observation skills for recording and expressing your ideas, you will learn about using contour lines to express your big idea, then how to pull your drawing together by suggesting details. (In this session, we will address the following Elements of Art- line, shape, space)

Yes, I know you are interested.. I’ll keep you in the loop
This looks like it will be good. Sorry to miss it, I won’t be back from Tucson.
Maybe you can do the next one. We are so busy.
Cheri, I just reread and saw that yours is at 2:30. ( my blurred and sweeping perception you know) so sign me up, I will be there! Zoe
Great- see you soon!
Cheri, I am really excited you are doing this and I want to come but April 9 is Free the Honey at Lark and Sparrow (Kurt knows them from Gunnison) and we already have tickets. Also, May 14 is a LOCAL WOMAN’S SONGWRITERS performance there too. I know we were hoping many of our friends would attend (who are probably on your list too) . So, I want to attend your classes but the 2nd Saturday isn’t looking too good for the next couple of months. Fondly, Zoe
Will probably attend both. Free the Honey is great, and the songwriters is a good cause to support. It’s all art!
