Explore exciting ways to combine words and pictures as you record creative ideas, document your life, and express your thoughts and feelings. We'll fill the pages of a composition notebook with images and writing that reflect who you are, what you know, and what you find interesting. This class will include both writing and drawing, with the option to use found materials and collage. You'll leave the class with a special notebook that contains many pages of drawings, diagrams, notes and personal writing.

  • Class time will consist of generative activities, writing and drawing time, and conversation. Previous drawing or creative writing experience is not required. 
  • This is an On-site course. Students must follow social distancing protocols and wear masks at all times. For more info visit visarts.org.
