Explore ways of using words and pictures to record your ideas and observations, document your experiences, and discover new avenues for your creative expression. In this class, you'll fill the pages of a composition notebook with drawings, diagrams, data logs, personal writing, collage, and more. We'll find inspiration by looking at the creative practices of writers and artists such as Lynda Barry, Julia Cameron, and others.

  • Class time will consist of demonstrations, generative activities, and conversation. We'll spend some time writing and drawing in our journals during class time, but to get the most out of this class, students should expect to continue working in their journals outside of class time. Previous drawing or creative writing experience is not required.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.  
  • This class is held online through Zoom; learn more about how online classes work here
