Art on Thursday – May 11, 2023 – How to Art Journal

Smash Journals, Junk Journals and Art Journals are not writing journals. All are different ways to express yourself through art. Written journals and diaries have existed as far back as the Middle Ages. Then in the 1800’s people began the practice of colleting bits related to their lives and put them in scrapbooks. Then people began using pages of journals specifically for their art.

Learn the difference between Smash, Junk and Art Journals and make your own art journal. This is a fun class that will let you experiment with different techniques and learn more about mixed media. The instructor will provide all supplies needed for students. The instructor asks if you have a hair dryer, please bring it to class. If you don’t have a hair dryer, no worries, we will share!

Class will be on Thursday, May 11th. Choose either an afternoon session (1-3 pm) or an evening session (6-8 pm). Class is open to anyone 12 years and older. Cost is $35. Classes meet at Athens Arts, 216 E. Main Street, Crawfordsville.

To reserve a spot for the May 11th h class, stop by Athens Arts Thursdays and Fridays 10 am to 6 pm or on Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm or call 765.362.7455 during business hours to pay via credit card.
