Explore drawing, painting and journaling using a variety of techniques.

Find solace and inspiration in the stories and techniques of artists like Tracey Emin, Käthe Kollwitz, Frida Kahlo and others. Engage in therapeutic drawing exercises designed to help you use art as a response to challenging emotions. Connect with a supportive community of like-minded artists. Let’s help each other discover ways to leave emotions on the page and walk away with a renewed sense of creativity and healing.

Using a variety of techniques, we will explore the idea of using line, shape, space and color for emotional expression and healing. We will look at both abstract and representational techniques.

This workshop will provide a platform for art appreciation, celebration and empowerment through the exploration of unique practices to add to your creative tool kit. Beginning artists are always welcome. There’s no right or wrong way to do this workshop!

Group sharing and discussion is always a part of the live workshop–but this is not captured in the recording for privacy purposes. If you join live, you are welcome to be part of the discussion and meet other like-minded artists from across the country and across the globe.

Expect fun and engaging exercises, captivating themes and fascinating histories designed to inform and inspire your own everyday artistic practice.

No art experience is necessary! The focus will be on guided exercises and contemplative practices inspired by the world dots and dot-centric artists.
