In this class, each student will receive a journal. We'll write together in our journals extensively each day. We'll write about our lives, personal stories, imaginary characters, dream worlds and scenarios. We'll also explore creative poetry including Haiku poetry, "I am" poems, and black out poetry. To help us get into the writing flow, we'll play lots of quiet, calm, relaxing music and get some writing time in VisArts' garden. Walk away with pages full of reflective and descriptive thoughts.

  • Artventure classes are confirmed two weeks in advance. All materials are provided.
